    @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.

    When @taniwharugby posted that I actually dug up one of the most useless bits of trivia in my brain (there is a lot of crap in there). Women can have an Adam's apple - most don't. Testosterone levels, puberty and development of the larynx. You can't always spot a ladyboy by an Adam's apple. Caution is required.

    Maybe it's not such useless information if visiting Thailand...

          Going to the obvious starting point could end badly but much more conclusive.

                  There will be a first-time slam winner, which is a good thing.

                    One thing that has been bugging me about this Joker thing is the media saying he was 'defaulted' from the tournament. Is that the right word to use? I always thought you can 'default' yourself but other people 'disqualify' you rather than 'default' you.

                      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.

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

                      Surely a rule that hitting a ball / line umpire with a tennis ball not involved in the actual play is a decent one isn't it? I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose, but he still did it.

                      He left without fronting a press conference. Classy.

                      Wise decision if you ask me. He's a bit of a hot head, journalists will look to escalate the story by getting a heated remark or something. Best to get out of there, calm down, and issue a measured public response. Which is exactly what he did. The story is basically dead now and everybody moves on. Spot on.

                        One thing that's bugging me... don't ya expect these line judges to be eagle eyed? Or was she just dedicated to the job and only had eyes for the line.

                        I definitely saw footage of a PC though. Wasn't pretty.

                            @Bones yeah they stare at the balls continuously for 2 hours, never move their eyes and are fined if they blink.
                            Open and shut case - totally the line umpire's fault and she should be fired immediately!

                                Really? Rules are rules.

                                Surely a rule that hitting a ball / line umpire with a tennis ball not involved in the actual play is a decent one isn't it? I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose, but he still did it.

                                Wise decision if you ask me. He's a bit of a hot head, journalists will look to escalate the story by getting a heated remark or something. Best to get out of there, calm down, and issue a measured public response. Which is exactly what he did. The story is basically dead now and everybody moves on. Spot on.

                                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.

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

                                The rules are the rules and the rule is that on a first offence the standard penalty is a warning.

                                The offence has to be flagrant and a threat to the tournament to merit disqualification.

                                Assuming he didn’t aim for her it wasn’t flagrant.

                                And spoils the tournament not having the best player able to contest.

                                Absurd.

                                  Somewhere in Europe I'm sure Federer and Rafa were smiling...

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

                                    Thiem v Medvedev semi on Saturday. Should be an intriguing match.

                                      US Open Mens Title about to be decided by a tie break. I'd much rather they played it to a two game advantage conclusion as of old.
