What if it happened in the final?

I’d guess so, but who knows. They’re gonna have to have bodybuilder line judges with necks like tree trunks in the final to prevent that possibility here on out.

why they even put these old grandmas behind the lines. a little sun, and a touch of the ball and they fall appart

it was her fault. djokovic wasnt careful?wellwhat the **** was SHE doing?balls fly everytime towards her at fast speed - she needs to focus on the ball. all the time,everytime

I think it’s time to just accept that it happened and that it was his fault. Djokovic is not a victim here as he has repeatedly hit the ball in anger throughout the years and this time it hit someone. Even when he was confronted in the past by reporters about his behaviour he dismissed it as nothing. Now he knows better.
 
No, finals are so important that they never would have done the same. LOL!
But an umpire stole 1 game from Serena in US Open final. Umpire has supreme authority in Grand Slam Finals. Aurélie Tourte would disqualify Novak and give me the trophy. Not a bad payday for 28 minute of work.

The default would have stood. Especially as there would be no chance of putting 20,000 fans out paying top dollar for tickets.

The sanction against it is rather trivial, so it's not really going to stop anyone. You just have to exercise a controlled anger, obviously, and have a bit of luck.

Hitting a ball in anger is not some sin that requires sanction. Let players be real people with emotions.

At what point would you concede harm has been done?

Would she need an emergency tracheotomy for you to take it seriously?
I'm guessing if that happened you'd be here arguing with people who think she's exaggerating to get money from Djokovic
