Slow-mo video of Djokovic hitting the line judge

[Raiden]

It was 100% her front neck aka throat.

Ball bounced on her eve's apple and ricocheted off of her — with her body becoming a backboard like a basketball bank-shot. So it wasn't a graze either. She absorbed a shock.

OP and his digitally altered fakery should be banned. Keep tennis out of the recently escalating forgery and fake news epidemic.

Not just few bad apples. These are hundreds of BLM attacking innocent people simply eating at a Rochester restaurant. Never heard of such a thing.
What does a restaurant have to do with ANYTHING. And these scenes are being played out all over the country.

BLM was a great cause but it has been hijacked and has totally backfired sadly. Surprised the US Open has their emblems as i thought political statements were not allowed at sporting events

 

[Sorry_to_tell_you_mate]

A high-tech country holding one of the biggest events in tennis and all we have is a cheap-a-s-s 144p resolution video.

And other don't see it even when it's poking them in the face.

Anyway, this thread speaks of no conspiracy. Unless you consider lineswoman's overreaction a conspiracy of one?

Watch the video. If you can't see that her reaction is genuine, you must be blind.

BLM are getting run out of USA by the Proud Boys et al. In europe the BLM has led to the far right growing in popularity. BLM has been an abject failure and not sure why they are brought up in tennis tournaments

BTW, the US State Dept is offering 10 million dollar rewards to anyone who can bust troll operations from a certain country.

Ball definitely didn't hit this line judge in the throat. She was hit on the side of the head, judging by the bounce trajectory. Also, no immediate reaction as the ball bounces off for a fraction of second without her even moving an inch. Clear case of afterthought fall, not to mention later choking sounds.

There's no visible impact spot on her head. Ball probably just grazed her.

Still, a careless and dumb move by Novak. Hope he learns from this.

Edit: For fairness, adding another angle in slow-mo:

From this angle, it might have been her neck or chin that was being hit (grazed IMO) but it's even better showcase of her late reaction. Ball bounced a meter away without her moving an inch. When she finally moves, she looks more startled than hit. Impossible in case of any substantial impact.

THE BALL NEVER HIT HER IN FRONT

THE NEVER TOUCHED HER IN FRONT SHE IA FRAUD

1963: The Kennedy assassination.
2020: Lineswoman hit by tennis ball.

Djokofans will talk about this grainy video for decades to come, analyzing the angle of impact and how it could not have hit her in the throat (just watch the bounce, it's obvious!, they say) desperately arguing that this was all part of a sinister conspiracy to rob Djokovic of a Grand Slam that might have given him GOAT status one day...

Watch frames 150 thru 154 and it all becomes obvious

Of course she just pretends that she is hurt, because she wants more money as compensation.
She acts like she was hit by the truck...

Machan ... omala, you're a fool if you think she put on a show hoping to get compensation. You had no idea these people are required to sign agreements prior to taking on the role of linesperson, did you?

It's one thing to be ignorant but it's another thing to scream at the world to show how ignorant you are. Otha!

After speaking with the manager, she was downing vodka/sprites and Virginia Slims an hour later.

Are you so sure that signed agreements cover out of play injuries? Also, don't you think she received compensation from Novak?

I miss tin-lunchboxes, VCR's, no cell phones, etc

Also PS1/N64/Sega
Must be nice to be in your 20's though lol that would be great

You still look like in 20s so be proud

Yes, Machan. For her to prevail in a lawsuit, she would have to show that Djokovic intended to hurt her. Good luck to her with that.

No, she didn't receive a dime from Novak!

Sounds like an opinion.

Machan ... otha, you nailed it. Just an opinion, that's all

THE NEVER TOUCHED HER IN FRONT SHE IA FRAUD

Kind of impossible to tell for sure from available videos but judging by her body movement I think it couldn't hit her straight in the throat.

 

[Federev]

With every weird argument about it not hitting her, not hitting her throat, litigation hungry lines woman, USTA/ATP/ITF conspiracy, not fair... etc...

Not only are Novak and all the officials made out to be liars ...

But the perception of Novak and his fans is made worse...

Just do what Novak has done and move on.

He’s got lots of titles ahead w no missteps. Focus on those.
