  1. The sign in the back says she got hit by a serve that was 225 km/hr or 139 mph. By the time it hit her it obviously slowed down a bit but it still hit her hard and she didn’t flinch when it was coming at her. And then she was going to stay in. I’d say she’s pretty tough.

  2. So I know that ballgirls/boys in tennis are supposed to be like emotionless labrador retrievers mixed with Buckingham Palace guards, but every time I see one they seem like hostages with their families being held at gunpoint.

  3. When I was in middle school I was a ball boy for a Masters series tournament in my city. During a match I was at the back of the court like this girl, and a player came to me and asked if I could tuck his shirt in. Without really thinking about it, being in the middle of a match with a big audience, I obliged. It didn’t really bother me, and I didn’t think much of it. I also did the bare minimum of ‘tucking’, I didn’t stick my hands all up in there. When I got off the court the two guys who managed all the ball people talked to me about the incident and how it was inappropriate. The player also got a talking to, and felt terrible about it. He offered to apologize to me personally, but I didn’t really care about the incident and said it wasn’t necessary. The player didn’t want to tuck his own shirt in because it was sweaty, which would make his hand more sweaty, which would affect his grip. The other ball people then made fun of me afterward to having tucked in the players shirt.

  4. Great sportsmanship on both players. Cilic was given a repeat 1st serve due to Del Potro’s attention to the girl, but he declined the advantage. Both player showed excellent form here.
