Chances of that happening are low and that must have hurt with the speed of the racket coming up. Great job by Rafa and trainer to deal with it but also respect to Fognini for the concern and patience he had for Rafa knowing their history and fallouts over the years. Great sportsmanship.

Could've easily caused major eye damage if it was half an inch left or right

[@kpwand]

Could still have an impact on his eye. Detached retinas, e.g., have delayed symptoms and don't require direct contact with the eye.

[@jlgroovetek]

Somehow I doubt it could cause much damage if it hit his eye region, as the hoop of the racquet has a large diameter so your eye socket and cheek would take the brunt of the impact and your eyelids react hyper fast.

[@bartholomewlyons]

How exactly? It’s not like it was a spear. Racquet is larger than the eye socket. Human design at its best.

[@martinzahariev4420]

Yep, similar to Goffin's injury in Rotterdam 2018, the ball got a deflection from the racquet and hit him in the eye, detaching his retina in the process

This Brough me to tears. He was treated by the medic, got up on his feet, washed his face and had a drink of water, and was ready to continue the tennis game... I was really worried, maybe he shouldn't, but seems he knows what he was doing... What a great brave man is Rafael Nadal. Wishing you full and speed recovery. God bless you💙🙏

Pobre Rafael Nadal, que trancazo se metió con la raqueta, ojalá se recupere pronto.

A football player would have been rolling 6 times on the floor and scream in pain

[@AussieFanChannel]

What would be the point of a tennis player doing that? It's not like he is going to be awarded a penalty or get his opponent sent off if he does that.
