This is ridiculous. The woman acted like she got shot. What a Karen
Djokovic SUCKS.
Yea she did! wow. She may have caught it in just the wrong place, but it doesn’t seem that way. Seems she acted a spoiled 5 and chucked a wobbly. There was nothing intentional or violent about his lob back to the ball people. That’s a really bad break for him.
#no1curr cuz Djokovic = public enemy numero uno in tennis. He’s an anti-vaxxer AND his stupid game/parties this year gave several other tennis players covid, including himself, and he still refuses to apologise. His loose canon of a father certainly isn’t helping either.
His “nice guy” facade is laughably skin-deep. Never liked him and never will.
I just like to watch him play tennis, don’t really care too much about him as a person.
TV ratings will be dreadful. No crowd, Nadal, or Fed and now this.
He got totally defensive when a journalist warned him he could have hit someone in 2016.
And hosting a game when covid was raging on is beyond narcissistic asshole. It’s dangerous and could have had serious consequences. What if someone had died?
I’m thinking she must not play racquetball or squash, or even doubles tennis, where getting smacked in the back of the head by the ball is pretty common.
I bet a non-racket sports linesperson at the NYO is not trending well now on sm.
I’m pretty sure unless he serves the ball at full strength at someone 10 feet away, no one would actually get hurt. This doesn’t seem like a big deal to me when I’m used to line drives coming at fans at a baseball game.
Yeah of course it’s the woman’s fault for being a Karen. How dare an old, unhot woman accuse a famous male professional tennis player for striking a tennis ball on her throat! I bet it didn’t even hurt that much!
I don’t think anyone brought up that her being female had anything to do with it.
But since you brought it up. I don’t think a man would have acted like they got shot. It would be pretty embarrassing.
I didn’t know Karen was a gender neutral name.
People use Karen for men as well. If a man acted like that, I would say what a Karen thing to do. Back in the days we just called these guys pussies.
He’s the number 1 ranked player. It’s a joke to disqualify him for this accident.
Yeah this is known as sports, where things like this can happen. If she’s going to work the NYO then she needs to suck it up and carry on. Accidents happen.
Also, I would not turn her ahem away for eating crackers in the sack.
Exactly. Imagine if players got ejected for accidentally hitting the ref.
It’s 2020. I think we’re living at an apogee of social lunacy caused by social media.
I remember Henman getting disqualified from Wimbledon when he lost his rag and hit a ballgirl accidentally. She made a right song and dance about it as well. But, them’s the rules. Players are supposed to be mindful of spectators and other people on court. You can accidentally hit someone when playing a shot, but you can’t whack the ball randomly.
She britta’d it.
