I'm worried though about team sports. Seeing a lot of schools in CFB where chunks of the team are testing positive for Covid. I'm skeptical we see a season. For tennis, yes they should have opened up sooner.

I was kind of surprised she was in the draw

Watching Serena. I hope she steps it up and wins the tournament for the sake of American tennis.

And memo for the pervs/boob lovers there’s been a lot of nipples in this open.

Djokovich looking like it is his tournament to lose.

I said it was his to lose and looks like he decided to give it away. What a fool.

by **steveschneider** Sun Sep 06, 2020 5:49 pm

What a fiasco. They failed to draw Rafa, monfeis, Federer is hurt and djokovic is out. Serena is their only hope for big ratings.

He did that on purpose?

by **Watch Out Pylon!** Sun Sep 06, 2020 6:15 pm

Is there a precedent for firing a tennis ball at a judge and injuring them? That's gotta be some sort of suspension right?

I mean I guess he’s good enough to do that in purpose. But wild.

I mean to me that's no way on purpose but I wasn't watching the match either.

When I first saw Djokovic clip and him only, I was like "meh.. whatever".

Then I saw a different angle and was like Shocked

- that lady got drilled.

Not good.

by **Watch Out Pylon!** Sun Sep 06, 2020 7:42 pm

I don't care if it was on purpose or not, he rifled a ball in the area of a judge. Pretty shitty thing to do.

by **MiamiSpartan** Sun Sep 06, 2020 10:40 pm

Negligence doesn't require intent, and the official statement mentioned that hitting a ball in a negligent and dangerous way is a no-no.

Besides, after his little corona party a couple of months ago he can go fuck himself anyway.

He’s always ranked low on my list of the big three and I wasn’t wild about his efforts to form a union. I do think what happened was an accident but it was pretty stupid thing to do. Also, the whole thing is a bummer and on brand for 2020.

Didn't look that egregious to me. Now we have the pussification of tennis.

by **kingstonlake** Mon Sep 07, 2020 8:05 am

Clearly a code violation. Glad they booted him. What kind of douche makes the argument that he shouldn’t be given a match penalty “because she didn’t have to go to hospital”.

Clearly an accident but the rule is if you throw a racket or hit a ball out of anger and it hits someone you are out. A player smashed a ball a few years ago after a point and it broke the chair umpires eye socket. The ball that djokovich hit yesterday hit her in the throat and caused her to drop. Seems like a good rule to me.

Yeah, man, right on. The middle aged lady line judge that got a tennis ball in the throat, well after play had stopped, because a player was mad, she should just stand there and take it like a man.

Too much TDS and bullshit in tBin. Not worth the time. I prefer the political forum on the BBQ board as it's far more balanced. I don't even go there very often.

Shapovalov seems like a huge douche bag. Reminds me of the villain from the first Karate Kid.

Shapovalov won the 4th 6-0 and then lost the match in the 5th. Ouch. Wish I could have stayed up late enough to take that one in.

Serena might be in deep shit. Possible ankle injury. Getting taped up third set.

Good match. Azarenka flicked on a switch and kept her energy so high. Women’s matches have been more competitive than the men’s. Hoping we see better tennis in the men’s quarter finals.

Always an excuse, never any credit for the opponent.
