To my eye, Ostapenko released the racket in frustration and oughtn't have done that, but the throw and the contact with the ball boy were clearly accidental. In my judgment (and I guess the ump's) she would have been unlucky to take a DQ in that situation. In any event, the difference in mentality is displayed by what happens after that unfortunate event: 17 year old Ostapenko is contained and composed even when being berated by Broady, while Broady comes across as emotional (she's even in tears), petty and out of control. Fast forward a few years and Ostapenko is #6 while Broady is #130. Amongst other things (talent, work, etc.) their mental games must be on a different level, and you can see that in this video.

Alan Chong Obviously ostapenko knew that he could not hit the ball. Then the idiot threw her racket at the ball, doing a stupid act. It was not by accident.

@@brettcarter5142 dude she threw a damn racquet

[@raulcercea3029]

She did let the racquet go but she wasnt throwing it wanting to hit the ballboy! Broady won the point what the hell does she want? Why is she complaining!? I mean it wasnt right obviusly but you are not the one who has to complain!

[@jordanfrancis5812]

+Raul Cercea she was trying to get the umpire to see that it wasn't an accident as the umpire wasn't go to punish Ostapenko for trowing the racquet. i know she wasn't aiming for the ballboy but still she shouldn't have thrown it and good on Naomi for stepping up for that ballboy who did get hit because that girl shouldn't have thrown the racquet so i agree with Naomi the girl needed to be penalised for it

[@PS987654321PS]

+Jordan francis She clearly wasn't concerned about the ballboy's welfare. Her entire rant was about getting the other girl disqualified. Broady was shameful and dishonourable.

For example a few years ago a player was suspended for months because they hit a lines person with a ball. It wasn't intentional but it still happened and the player was punished.

6 years later and Ostapenko is a grand slam winner and has won many big titles while the other one is nowhere to be seen .

[@Richardtv1968]

But still she threw the racket intentionally……it was so wrong, and she should have been called out for that by the umpire

[@amck72]

What other many big titles has Ostapenko won besides the French open you`re speaking of ?

Broady: "You're gonna see on the video this is going to be so bad" Ostapenko: Look who's talking

[@jikangchua8196]

Broady is classless, so unsportsmanlike of her. Sure, it wasn't accidental but Ostapenko definitely did not meant to hit the ball boy, she was aiming for the ball.

[@ARZ1987]

Years later when I need a laugh, I come back to this video. “You hit the ballboy with your racquet!!!” 😹

[@TWDtv]

It's forever timeless 🤣

[@paulngo4631]

As a tennis player, I am not sure why she even swung the racket, the ball was way out of reach. Seems like she got frustrated and threw the racket.
