        How about Enrique here - manages to hang on to Anna while still using a chain wallet. It's probably velcro too. A true hero of our time.

              Djokovic has been disqualified from the US Open for hitting a line judge in the throat with a ball he despatched in a fit of temper. It was accidental but apparently you could hear her choking through the sound effects mic.

                    @dogmeat didn't look like he hit it very hard at all, but I guess if it hits the Adam's apple straight on itd hurt.

                    Will the line judge be in a neck brace and be suing?

                      He should sue her for having such poor reactions, costing him millions in prizemoney

                        Pretty sure that wouldn't have happened if Federer made same mistake. Absurd decision.

                          Was he looking straight at her or was it just a random act? Seems a little heavy handed, especially if it was an accident. the US Open just became even more irrelevant right now

                            @canefan looked random, as soon as he hit it and saw it fly towards the lady he was very remorseful and apologetic.

                              yup - few cms either way and it's a non event. Def no intent

                              But rules are rules. If you hit the ball and it strikes an official you're toast. Intent and / or consequences aren't considered.

                              Fucking shit way to lose (presumably) the tournament though.

                                  Its an idiotic rule. When you have so many lesser options like docking a point(s), game(s), or even a set

                                      Given how much power these pro players can generate, it never looks like much, but it is.

                                      @dogmeat tournament is wide open now. Medvedev looks to have a favourable draw.

                                        Will the line judge be in a neck brace and be suing?

                                        Given how much power these pro players can generate, it never looks like much, but it is.

                                        @dogmeat tournament is wide open now. Medvedev looks to have a favourable draw.

                                        @ACT-Crusader Same side of the draw as Thiem. It's the top half that has really opened up For Zverev I reckon

                                          @dogmeat didn't look like he hit it very hard at all, but I guess if it hits the Adam's apple straight on itd hurt.

                                          Will the line judge be in a neck brace and be suing?
