Holy crap! That's terrible. Even if it just fell from the stands, it could hurt.

Very horrible..Novak says that he is ok and see ya on Sunday! That's a good thing..

Yeah, I edited my post when I reread it again that it fell out of a guy's bag. It would be disconcerting for a minute, though.

Ouch! Never tought of a water bottle this way, not pleasant at all. He'll be fine as long as he doesn't hit his pinky toe on a corner of a table or a piece of furniture.

Novak came on social media and did say it was an accident, I saw 2 different angles of the video on social media, the bottle did fall out of the backpack as the fan tried to get an autograph when Novak was about to walk through the tunnel
Actually the best place for fans to get auto graphs of their favorite tennis players at the Rome tournament, is to go up to the area where the cars drop off players coming from their hotels, it has security guards, so fans dont get crushed, and the players always stop to sign autographs and have photos with the fans

I think it was a young boy bottle

Apparently it wasnt plastic it was one of those water bottles that keeps cold water cold, I have one myself especially if I go to the gym, also they are better for our enviroment than plastic

Sidebar: I read this on social media a couple of years ago..."the purpose of your pinky toe is to tell you that your furniture is in the wrong place." I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants. Then, a week later, I broke my pinky toe on a piece of wrongly placed furniture. So be careful...it could be a jinx!

Yikes! That would definitely hurt.

No wonder Novak fell to the ground, anyway good news is he went to the hospital to get checked out, all good!

My LORD this is great tennis Rafa vs HH...this is only the first two games it's been more than 25 minutes...at this pace @Moxie . Moxie will be able to clean every room of all the houses in her subdivision. Geez

Herbie is covering the court like his name is Novak

Good God, I have decided to make a large pot of coffee as I will be watching this match in the wee hours of the morning my time if they continue to play this long for each service game, Rafa needs to go behind the tall pole more often btw

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Just saw Novak turn up with a 'helmet on his head' signing autographs LOL! 'a great sense of humor I must say, after what happened with the water bottle yesterday.

Nads can forget it. He couldn't break serve w/ 5 BP's on a host of 2nd serves. Of course he then donates his own serve.

He is very gracious and generous no?

To a fault girlfriend. He's considering being gracious w/ another serve game

This has been one of my main concerns with Rafa, his serve, since his has returned on the clay, it is sub par

 

[kskate2]

And he does. 5-1. Hubi serving for the set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Maybe I wont have to drink the whole pot of coffee after all, this match is going too quickly now
Someone give Rafa a serve to start with please

 

[kskate2]

Well it was his return game that got him into this mess. Had he broken, I think he would be in a better position especially given he's playing one of the worst returners on tour. Hubi normally can't buy a return game.
