What the hell is a "match ball"?
Bublik should have given the poor kid some racquets, bags, caps and other goodies.
I find it amazing that someone getting hit by a ball in play is getting compared to someone getting hit by a ball that was not in play. There really is no comparison.
She did beg for him not to be disqualified...after he pounded her point blank in the head.GOAT response to accidentally hitting a ball-kid:
Thought experiment. I know, we're asking too much.Why would I, or anyone, compare the reactions?

I feel like we're entering flat-earth territory here. It's funny how Djokovic has moved on, and this incident will definitely not define his career (why should it? it was an accident), but for some reason others just cannot. Just remember, by continuing to bring it up, you are reminding us all what a bone-head move that was.Thought experiment. I know, we're asking too much.
Still is almost a 180 km/h difference in the velocity of the two balls. The 12 y/o kid hit by a 215-220 km/h fastball stood still, the lady hit by a 45 km/h softball went down like she was shot with a sniper. I think that's what's bothering the most and why so many people find this whole situation very fishy to say the least.That ball was in play. That's how this differs from Djokovic's incident.
Nothing less than flat earth territory, eh? I suggest a more subtle gaslighting approach next time.I feel like we're entering flat-earth territory here.

Still 180 km/h in velocity is a mammoth difference. Also not to mention that one is a fragile delicate kid, and the other is a strong healthy adult.perhaps there are some small detail that you are missing a fake Nadal fan.
getting hit in the throat vs getting in the shoulder?
getting hit by a ball that is in play vs getting hit between games?
ball kid is supposed to catch the balls vs linesperson is supposed to rest between games and not doge from incoming balls?

The Kazakh turned a tough situation into the nicest moment of the match after hitting his 17th ace on match point in his 6-2, 7-6(5) first-round victory against Albert Ramos-Vinolas at the Hamburg European Open. The 23-year-old rushed to the other side of the court to check on the ballgirl. Upon learning she was not seriously hurt, Bublik spoke to her for a moment and offered a match ball and a fist bump as a token of gratitude for her efforts.

And he offered her a ball.
If he was wearing a BLM mask like Osaka this would have never happened. Or maybe some rooftop pasta commercial next time around.
The Establishment - Djokovic 1:0 after the USO. Watch Vajda tests positive on Covid just before the RG QF.
Poor Nole, going after the establishment was never a good idea.
Should have been DQ because he did not kiss her!

Bamos-VinolasIt was a Spaniard in that DQ match, too. Let's blame the Spaniards. Ban them all
everyone on the court needs to be wearing helmets and protective padding
there needs to be a glass wall separating the court from the front roll seats
tennis is a very dangerous sport why are these safely precautions not already being used?
I thought he would give his racquet but he gave a ball. She can get them anytime.
Baseball pitchers can get hit as can cricket bowlers and umpires.everyone on the court needs to be wearing helmets and protective padding
