I don’t remember the player, but it was either the semis or the finals. It was a complete accident as well. The ball wasn’t aimed at anyone. The player was apologetic and embarrassed immediately afterward. Not many people saw it, because again it was a doubles challenger match. But the rule is clear. <br /><br />Personally, I think taking away all the points and money earned is harsh for something accidental, especially for a first time offender. The immediate loss of a match, with its financial ramifications, is bad enough. Guestnoreply@blogger.com
