In a close football game, a punt return for a touchdown means something a lot more. In a boxing match, a knockout ends the fight.
Don't talk sports if you are going to insist on being a knucklehead, knucklehead.

If you are defining knock out as something that turns the flow of the match, then its a "could be". Tennis is a game of momentum shifts, particularly with fairly equally matched players. Plus, they ae particularly useful when playing someone who is struggling and doesnt have the juice to run down a perfectly placed smash. In a game of endurance, stamina and strategy, it is one stop further to the death blow which can only be on match point unless someone retires.
I meant it as the point ending shot, Spanky.
