Well he could not have upset the Birthday Boy today just saying

Is Lajovic the big calves dude ?

Serb takes no mercy. As for Sinner, it seems like a usual let down after a big title.

Sinner didnt deserve to win, his serve went missing, he played poorly quite frankly.,Lajovic deserved his win

I havent paid much attention to his calves lol! Matteo has

Love to say it, "but I told you so!" It's just typical! Today's players can't hang w/ the game physcially & emotionally as once done! It's tough out there! If they even make a SF much less win an event, they might as well WD from the next! This is such a joke!

McDonald was joking last week that he was doing extra leg calves exercises so his would not look so puny compared if they face each other

Dosent look good for Ruud who has to defend finalist points at the USO

Question. If player's racket slips out of the their hand by mistake while they are trying to strike the ball and hits a lines person or someone in the crowd. Will that player be disqualified?

Well that could be up to the umpire to decide if it was by mistake? though normally a player would be disqualified

I'm serious if a player's loose the grip and the racket flies. It happens in baseball

You're joking right? Accidents happen during play and I've never heard of punishment! Edberg hit a linesman in the groin w/ a serve! The dude stroked out and died! Nothing came of it! Not even sure the family sued for the loss!

Hard to know. Wasn’t a woman’s doubles team disqualified recently for accidentally hitting the ball girl? I think it depends on if the point is over, because after the point is played the player is expected to control themselves - and their racket and any tennis balls they have. But during the point it would be considered an accident, like when Rafa returned a serve and clobbered a ball girl..

Remember Kieran she hit the ball like Novak did when the point was over which is a bit difference. I'm thinking if the racket flies out your hand while you're in a swing motion it's not something that's a disqualifier. @don_fabio @Fiero425 any thoughts on this?

I agree with Kieran's post it did happen recently in a womens doubles match, disqualified for accidentally for hitting a ball girl, you didnt say if the point was over or not? if it was during a point that would be deemed an accident

Really? Stefan the sweet killed a geezer with a serve into the nethers? Edberg didn’t even have that powerful a serve..

Yeah but Novak deserved the D/Q because he got the ball in a fit of animal temper. The female doubles player was hitting the ball to the ball girl, and not so hard…

In the swinging motion at the ball that is CURRENTLY in Play!

I thiught it was really unfair the female doubles player got disqualified, it wasnt in a temper fit at all

It it is in a swinging motion in play, I feel that could be deemed an accident

If it’s in play then it’s an accident. Players can’t be held responsible for what happens when they’re trying to hit the ball…
