As Andy and John both indicated, there had to be more to the play than what you described. If the Line Judge was doing their job, they would have had an angle to be sure whether or not the ball crossed the net inside or outside the antenna. In addition, if it was close to the antenna, when I am an R2, I am moving to get an angle to see whether or not the ball crosses inside or above and outside the antenna.
Since the R2 went across the court to converse with the R1, I am led to believe that there is more to the play that we do not know.
