So the video shows what happened, and then the opponents insisted to the ref that the other players get disqualified and that was that --- Why should we wait for some better time? There may not even be a tomorrow. <cite>Damn_Underscore posted [p:973925288] in WTF - tenn...

She was obviously trying to give the ball to the ball girl since it was the opponents turn to serve The rule is supposed to be if you hit someone with a ball thrown in anger, frustration, etc Yeah, this seems pretty fucking dumb. There's a huge difference between an accident & someone throwing an angry fit. <cite>pfh1001 posted [p:973925552] in WTF - tenn...

Heavy_D_Forever 06/06/23 1:24:14 AM #11:	JFC that's a terrible enforcement of that rule. They should at least look at the replay and see it was clearly an accident before making a final judgment over disqualification. --- E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES <cite>Heavy_D_Forever posted [p:973956731] in WTF - tenn...

MabusIncarnate 06/06/23 2:34:13 AM #18:	Smashingpmkns posted... I would have just dodged the ball tbh Average serve in tennis is like 20% faster than the hardest fastball in the MLB. I'd think it would require split second reaction time to dodge a ball going at you at 120+ mph. --- "They speak of progress, in red, white and blue.

legendarylemur 06/06/23 2:38:07 AM #19:	That was a lobbed shot though. It seemed like the ball girl had the time to react and didn't quite see it in time. It's not a direct shot or even one with any significant spin. I don't see it. I feel like they stretched the rules a bit and didn't really do the due diligence. --- "Iwata was awesome" - Mr. Nintendo https://i.imgur.com/krtFHol.jpg <cite>legendarylemur posted [p:973957378] in WTF - tenn...
