New (eye)ball please! We know it’s Monday but it could be worse, you could be this umpire
It’s Monday and everything’s turning to shit but – hey! – at least you’re not this tennis umpire, right?

OUCH!
I’ve just seen that Canadian tennis bloke lash the ball at the umpire. Finally something exciting happened in the Davis Cup

Feel that was a bit harsh on Shapovalov. Based on the first 2 sets if he meant to hit the umpire he would of missed #bbctennis #DavisCup
