Now the judges will have to wear helmets and protective gear around their necks, can’t risk that happening again.

Is it necessary to have an uncontrollable temper to be a champion?

As soon as I saw the story ( as a former pretty serious tennis player who won the club championship at 16). I find it absolutely hilarious lolx10000 any good tennis player who has played touraments with ball judges has thought about doing this at least 1000 times!! The fact that this stupid ball judge with hurt bad enough that had to leave the game is pathetic Again if the ball judge died , I wouldn’t be laughing but this is really 😄 really funny

After watching the video this looks ridiculously like a classic slip and fall insurance scam in your local supermarket....

If only the tournament had made it clear just how racist all white people are this wouldn't have happened.

Can somebody help me. The line judges are supposed to be able to maneuver around ball on the court. The space behind the court and below the gallery is a place where balls often go. And the line judges need to avoid them. He was not looking in that direction. Nor did he hit the ball with anywhere near his full strength. So, I am sorry she was injured but I don’t see how its his fault. It was a freak accident. And she should always be watching when the players and balls are on the court. You don’t see it but judges and ball boys are hit all the time.

If he were a non-white tennis player they’d be making excuses for him and wouldn’t disqualify him. We all know how it works these days.

Am I allowed to say the word, “dick”, on this forum? Djokovic is a dick.

Djokovic had no reason to be upset at the point, as Carreno-Busta had outplayed him on a p== drop shot (am I allowed to suggest that pejorative here?). Djokovic was just playing head games with his opponent, which is what has won him more than a few unearned tournaments.

And he wants to create a competitor players association to the ATP: he just lost that fight today.

Can I say “douchebag” here?

It seems like tennis and basketball players are among the worst (I remember what Kermit Washington did to Rudy Tomjanovich).

My favorite story was in football from Baltimore Colts lineman Art Donovan.

Art Donovan never played for the Rams, but he did play against them. Donovan recalls a tackle for a loss he had against Ram QB Bob Waterfield on first down. Waterfield told Donovan that he was going to get him. Donovan only laughed. Waterfield, after all was a QB, and Donovan was a big defensive lineman, how could Waterfield “get” him?

On the next play, the o lineman blocking Donovan stepped out of the way. This was Donovan’s big chance. He made a beeline for Waterfield. Waterfield DRILLED the football directly into Donovan’s face. No face guards in those days, either! From that moment on, Donovan could only respect a man who would spend a down to settle a score.

He’s a foreigner? From the Baltic States? Maybe he took the phrase “Grand Slam” a little differently.

If the line judge was paying contention it wouldn’t have happened.
