2020 US OPEN TENNIS THREAD

No she wasnt.. watch again.. he batted it back then looked up to see her about to get hit with it.. he then looked horrified, then immediately had a look of resignation since he knew it was probably over.. not sure if you can find it, but there’s a great shot of his face in slomo during the whole thing.

he was already looking left
dropped his head to see ball/racket
starting looking left as he hit ball - even seemed to react before the ball hit her
i think it was one of those things where his body was just a bit faster than his brain (his brain was already yelling NOOOOO)
but she was definitely in line of sight since that's where he was looking before dropping his head
