You laughed at the umpire getting hit in the eye with a ball at that pace? They don't even know how bad the injury is yet, could easily have been blinded. Very fckn funny

Was watching it live and also reading, I thought the TV had broke when the sound went to nothing other than what turned out to be stunned silence. As they replayed it over and over again it was a cracking left handed belting that did make me chuckle, once of course I realised the ref was ok!!

It might stop a few other babies blasting balls away when they play a bad shot.
He'll, certainly, never do it again.

He should never have done it in the first place. Complete dummy spat! Deserved to have lost the match

Too bad his regular shots weren't half as accurate. Canada might have had a chance.
