When she was down and acting that she was soon going to be out soon, Djokovich should've smashed her head with his racket. Of course I am kidding and lemme get to something that is more fundamental here. People don't have a life of their own, they pretend all they can on facebook and instagram, society has been shredded to pieces and everyone wants the lifestyles of a rapper or a Kardashian (do nothing and get everything). So the first thing they do when presented with an opportunity (like the one presented to the lineswoman), she tries to capitalize on it. It can't be proven in the court of law, but that's too much acting. She gave Novak the look as if he was trying to grope her. The dumba$$ referee played along too (she wanted to prove her power over a MAN who is currently ranked no. 1. The referee doesn't know that it takes passion to reach there and it sometimes translates into anger on the court. Maybe ATP should invite philosophers to play the game who have the wisdom to remain calm in adversity. Especially Americans, why do you pretend so much? You live a lie. It clearly was an accident; from no angle it seemed that Djokovich wanted to hit the "thespian actress". That man has worked so hard for so long to be where he is today, you took that away from him in a few minutes. I am an avid Federer fan and don't even like the Serbian much. But I have respect for what he can accomplished in the era that used to be dominated by Federer and Nadal and unlike the lineswoman, I have eyes too. I am going to post this in as many threads as possible, so don’t give me that stupid response.

[@vhyles]

I've seen some slowed down footage and it seemed like she was hit in the collar bone, and not in Adam's apple like many people present it to be. But even if it was in the throat, if the person was a man the whole thing wouldn't have generated such a fuss and most likely he would've recuperated in a few minutes and continue with the match. She appeared to be more in shock than actual pain. Not to mention the speed of the ball was something like 30-40 km/h, nowhere near the speed of a service or a winner.

[@vhyles]

@@cantbendknee I'm just saying what I saw personally. Dunno, but if the same thing happened in Rolland Garros I don't think it would've generated such a fuss, and most likely the match would've continued. Snowflake culture tends to fragilize people, physically and mentally. I repeat: considering the low speed of the ball and that it actually might've been in the collar bone she seemed to be more in shock than in pain.

The Tennis world takes this sort of thing *very seriously*. In 2017, Denis Shapovalov fired off a ball like this and it hit the chair umpire in the eye, which required surgery. Their policy, rightfully, is that if you're hitting balls off the court where they shouldn't be going not part of game play and you hit someone -- no matter how minor -- you're going to get ejected. This isn't a surprise, the players know this is a rule. If a player has frustration they want to burn off, they can do it back in the locker room alone, not on the court resulting in someone getting hurt.

I watched this match, and I thought that she is seriously injured, that she needs some reviving techniques (heart massage, mouth to mouth) and then I saw that she got some totally mild hit. And her throat wasn't hit. Novak wasn't angry, otherwise he would hit the ball harder. He just wanted to get rid of the ball. If it is against the rules, and he had to be disqualified, this judge didn't have to act as if she is going to die. Let God pay her for her acting. Karma is a powerful thing.

[@chivimbe]

She’s a Federer fan

[@jhoward6634]

You Serbian fans are something else. Have your buddy punch you in the throat unexpectedly and see how it feels. And you thinks she’s acting? It was literally milliseconds before she grabbed her throat and fell to the ground. She would have to be the greatest actor who ever lived. And spontaneous acting at that. This lady was horrifically harassed with death threats. Serbian fans even mocked the death of her son on her social media. Not surprised with Serbians being known for denying genocide by their people

[@meh6513]

She got bruised??? What do you mean it's no strength??? Retard

[@smithbrownjones]

If you watch it in slo-mo/.5 speed, you can clearly see that the ball hits her on her right clavicle, and not her throat. She clutched her throat, and hit the ground with dollar signs in her eyes!

Bruh, you should pay attention to the video though. It happened in a split second. You wouldn't have had time to react either. Also, getting nailed in the throat with a ball isn't something line judges commonly anticipate after a point has been scored.

She got hit in the throat! It would make you instantly gasp for air and your body could easily go into panic mode for a moment.
