The Challenger tournament in North Carolina will be remembered for a long time by Tennys Sandgren, but certainly not a good one. He is disqualified in the second game. What happened?

After the brief appearance against Christopher Eubanks on Twitter, the American made the statement himself: “Tonight, a ball that a ball kid threw a little sharply hit me in the nuts. I hit the ball in the fence, then it hit the butt of a linesman, which led to the game being abandoned. And how was your evening ???? »

He also comments on the post himself to make it clear that it was his own mistake. A longer version of the video can be seen here, but it doesn’t get any more exciting than the short excerpt in the tweet.

The ball between the legs was certainly painful, the reaction of hitting the ball was understandable, that he hit a line judge via a gang on the bottom, unhappy and the disqualification was hard to digest. The fact that the 30-year-old still does not lose his sense of humor after a used evening and closes his post with a tearful laugh emoji makes him the only true winner that evening in the eyes of many.

It can get worse – examples please
