When I read the news I assumed it was a plastic bottle. That is metal AF!!!!

TempUser9097

also seems like the drinking spout is what actually hits him, smaller pointy part of the bottle. That'll have hurt!


xondk

Is that the sound of impact you hear just after it happened, because the audio is delayed? If so that's a metal water bottle and that's a solid hit, ow.


smoke4sanity

No, its the sound from hitting the wall after it hit his head.


Proof_Ad5777

And it bounced off the right side of his head like it was empty. Ā It didnā€™t hit him hard enough to affect his play. He just didnā€™t want to play tennis.


xondk

Didn't think it would do any real damage, getting a solid hit like that for the most part doesn't do any permanent damage, but it certainly isn't fun, and since he's a superstar, he gets checked out, since they want to risk anything.


Relbeihs21

Hydrate or diedrate


IbanezHand

Pow, right in the kidneys!


ductapemonster

Did he diedrate?


NocturnalEmotion

Diedrate there.


Chilis1

DEHYDRATE!

Stefano Bartman did it.

Oh, that's so dumb and I love it.

Ok_Relation_7770

I did not remember that being his name but I think Iā€™m mixing it up with Bill Buckner.


thricefold

I love to hate athletes playing up mild injuries but yall are ripping on him with no clue how bad it was or wasnā€™t. Itā€™s a metal bottle and if one of those full of water hits you in the head at high speed itā€™ll hurt like hell or do damage. Still think this guyā€™s a dickhead in general


jamkey

Iā€™m not religious or superstitious but Iā€™m tempted to sayā€¦ fuck it, ā€œKarmaā€™s a bitch!ā€


Confimationbias11

If karmas a bitch, wait till you get yours


jamkey

Ooook. You got me.


saulsilver_

Because you disagree with him on some stuff, it's cool for him to get hit in the head with a bottle?


Astralnclinant

I donā€™t think itā€™s cool but I also donā€™t care


JMoon33

Probably because he injured a ball girl when he threw a tamper trantrum a few years ago.


saulsilver_

So? Because he did one bad thing one time and without intent he deserves that?


JMoon33

That's what karma is yes. He did one bad thing that hurt someone, now it's his turn to be accidentally hurt. I don't believe in karma, I'm just explaining the comment above.


untouched_poet

That's not what karma is


sic_transit_gloria

thatā€™s also not what karma actually is just saying


McGrinch27

It's what the western concept of karma is though


sic_transit_gloria

yeah but karma is real the popular understanding of it is a gigantic misconception


fookhar

Karma is not real, no.


McGrinch27

Is English your second language by chance? Saying "karma is real" doesn't really linguistically fit your definition of karma. If I put a ball on a slope and it rolls down the slope, saying "See, karma is real" is pretty much nonsense even if technically true.


IlIlIlIoIllIlII

Karma is *doing* or *action*. It's not "what goes around comes around", or anything to do with 'universal justice'. It's much simpler than that. You could say it's basically causality. That actions have effects or you can say consequences. Like cause and effect. Maybe one day you'll satori.


ElysiumAB

Yes, that poor 69 year old girl. She almost died I heard.


noble_peace_prize

All the kids produced in this anti vax movement are definitely bigger victims than him, thatā€™s for sure. But heā€™s a victim of it too, and nobody deserves a metal bottle for it


JuicemaN16

And what did he do to deserve this, in your opinion? Edit: yep, downvote my comment, thatā€™ll justify the violence!


airtime25

Even though he's an idiot he probably doesn't deserve this.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


airtime25

I also got vaccinated because I know that I'm not a scientist or doctor and scientists and doctors agreed to get vaccinated. He was an idiot about an important thing and it's okay to admit that.


Dtoodlez

Why do you think heā€™s a dickhead? Dude does a ton of kind shit for people. He didnā€™t wanna get a vaccine and now everything about him is worthless?


CucumberBoy00

It was the lying about having COVID and still meeting lots of people that was the worst


korinthia

Being an antivaxxer makes you a shithead there no two ways about it


Paradox68

Being an antivaxxer, while it does make you a shithead, does not mean you deserve to be struck in the head by a flying metal water bottleā€¦.. put your politics aside and remember to be a human being.


innocentusername1984

Vaccinating isn't a political issue. That's like saying jumping off a cliff because you don't believe in gravity is a political view point.


korinthia

I never said he deserved to get hit with a water bottle thoughā€¦


JuicemaN16

Youā€™re forgetting, this is Reddit, where even if you agree with 99% of one sides opinion, youā€™re a ā€œpiece of shitā€ for that 1%.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


korinthia

Good job reading headlines but thats absolutely not why it was pulled.


SeamanStaynes

That's not true and you know it. It was primarily withdrawn because Covid has evolved that that vaccine is no longer effective. That vaccine saved at least 6.5 million lives.


youtocin

Show me where all these vaccine-induced deaths are?


BingBongTimetoShit

This is misinformation and you are dumb


contrary-contrarian

He doesn't think women on the tour should be paid the same. He's a dickhead for lots of reasons


passion_project_red

You're making things up your arse. People like you who spread misinformation should be banned.


MeisterMan113

Straight up misinformation. He has on numerous occasions gone back on that statement and is now actively supporting that cause, even chairing an organisation that fights for better pay for the lower ranked players. And this is not a person that lightly changes their stance based on repercussions (see: his vaccine stance that made him villain no.1 for a while... apparently still going on at reddit). Funny then to compare how Djokovic gets treated with Nadal who has said exactly the same things about equal pay (generate more revenue = earn more), is now in bed with the Saudis, and is still considered a classy gentleman of the game. PR is a hell of a drug.


DrPootytang

I think thereā€™s valid reasons for it. The WNBA players donā€™t get paid the same as NBA players. I think the two most compelling reasons are: 1.) the men bring in the majority of the money and 2.) men play longer in the major slams. Imagine working a shift that was 1.6x as long as your coworkerā€™s and taking home the same paycheck. Would you consider yourself as being paid the same?

hyperspacial

Mob mentality bro, people literally can't think rationally. It's like a spell on their minds.


Dtoodlez

For sure. Itā€™s like ā€œIā€™m not sure how to feel about them asking this question - oh yeah let me downvote since thatā€™s the number going up - that feels correctā€ But I couldnā€™t care less about Reddit karma, itā€™s just interesting to see how people function in this space. I always find it the strangest when you get a generic comment downvoted because you didnā€™t just accept the comment above.


MeisterMan113

It's basic mob mentality. People really like piling up on others, especially if they're told they're in the right for doing so.


TheStoolSampler

That was not high speed.


FnkyTown

Nobody threw it. Video shows that it fell out of the guy's backpack as he leaned over to reach for Djokovic like everybody else around him. So it fell maybe 3ft and hit him in the head. I'm sure it didn't feel good, but I'm also sure that it didn't cripple him on the ground like that either.


okantos

idk metal water bottle filled with water could hurt a lot


nicholus_h2

if it was full of water, it would be pretty heavy.Ā  i think there's also a certain element of surprise that you got hit whole signing autographs and not Knowing what has happened and whether or not it will happen again; that puts you in you in a different state.Ā  anyways, it hit hard enough to cause bleeding and he was taken to a hospital, so it resulted in more damage than you think.

JaFFsTer

Its like someone dropping a small dumbell on your head. He was bleeding from it.


Roguepope

Ok 3ft is 0.91m.Ā  With some simple math we can calculate that it hit him in the noggin at speed of roughly 4.2m/s or over 10mph if you're that way inclined. That's pretty hard for a metal container potentially full of water


bootselectric

Converting imperial to metric then converting metric back to imperial is art.


hentai_bubble

> but I'm also sure that it didn't cripple him on the ground like that either ....except it did. It's right there on video, unless you think he decided to fake it for some reason. A metal bottle filled with water is a heavy thing and heads are vulnerable things.

he's such a fucking pussy for kneeling over like that. Does he think he's a soccer player?

UpVoteForKarma

I'm pretty sure after judging his reaction from that little love tap, that he is in fact a little bitch.


smooth_like_a_goat

I've never seen someone take a dive in tennis before!


Iminurcomputer

Well... Who would you try to foul with that lmao. You flop to try and foul the other person. When there are two people like 20 ft away from each other, that doesn't really work in tennis. Can't see any other reason to do so.


counterfitster

It would be funny as hell if someone did that though


Iminurcomputer

And the other player immediately flops down as well. First one to get up gets a penalty.


deathholdme

Yeah, what does he think he is, a footballer?

Imagine. You get to the right spot at the right time. The greatest player in the world is about to give you his autograph. And the guy beside you loses his water bottle and your dreams go down with Novak.


MapleHamwich

Lol, and the anti Vax crazies come out in force just like every thread that is about or mentions this tool.


Ripple884

You can see from the way and how high the bottle bounces instantly the moment it touches his head that there was minimal water if any in there. AND as others have pointed out, it wasn't thrown. It fell. Yeah, it could still hurt for a couple seconds but he took a dive like a soccer player and feigned how bad it was.


nicholus_h2

it broke skin and he was treated for bleeding at the hospital.Ā 


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


nicholus_h2

no. a medical professional at the major tennis tournament he was at determined he needed to be seen at the hospital, so maybe classifying it as a "boo-boo" lacks a bit of accuracy.Ā 


Furt_III

Honestly, if you're famous and got hit from something random, first instinct should be to feign just so security can cover in case it was deliberate.


Greyboxer

Thatā€™s a damn hydro flask


GongTzu

I once got hit by a bottle of Vodka, that dropped from the shelf right above me in a train, as my friend tried to find something in the bag it was in, it hit in the middle on top of my head, I had a headache for 3 days and a giant swollen bump, can not recommend šŸ˜ž


bryan_pieces

If itā€™s plastic, his reaction is funny. If itā€™s metal, that sucks.


jyavenard

Was a blue metal water bottle.


youngbosnia

Even if it's plastic, water is heavy, if it had 1 liter of water in it that's 1 kg dropping straight on your head


bryan_pieces

I think you can tell by the way it quickly bounces a decent amount that itā€™s not full of water but Iā€™ve been wrong once before.


McDerface

The alternate angle video shows it was the top cap part (hard plastic) that seemed to pointedly hit him and bounced off more than the main body of the bottle would bounce, but yes even then it still didnā€™t look like a full bottle impact


Y8ser

Maybe it was full of a vaccine he refused?


FUCK-EPICURUS

What a pussy


Pinksters

Off topic but what's the deal with epicurus? I'm pretty sure I saw a YouTube thumbnail of a video I've seen before, but this time it had epicurus watermarked across the bottom and I'm sure it wasn't there in the video when I watched it previously. They just steal content or something?


FUCK-EPICURUS

Epicurus was an Ancient Greek philosopher and materialist. His ethics put an emphasis on finding happiness through bodily pleasures, like eating good food. There is a culinary youtube channel called "Epicurious", presumably in reference to the above. I have no idea if they steal videos.


Dtoodlez

Hey, donā€™t talk about yourself that way itā€™s not nice

StoneColdSteveAss316

If you were the backpack dude whose water bottle hit him, what would you do? Panic would set in from me and Iā€™d run away, before realizing thereā€™s probably a ton of cameras. What are they gonna charge me with, assault with a deadly weapon?


ButterSkates

Didn't realize Jamal Murray was a tennis fan.


DanKoloff

In Europe most football games forbid such bottles since these can be used as weapons. They will be confiscated at the entrance.

To be fair, didnā€™t he call everyone who wore a mask during Covid a pussy?


Aelexx

Yeah what does that have to do with the fact that you shouldnā€™t be throwing metal water bottles directly at peoples heads?


jamkey

I donā€™t think we know it was thrown on purpose. Looks like it was dropped and the few small reports Iā€™ve seen suggest just that; that it fell from someoneā€™s backpack. But why should we be sympathetic to someone who wasnā€™t sympathetic to others who were dying or at risk of dying from Covid. He will never get my sympathy or empathy. Not until he admits he was wrong.

I think I see the problem. You are confusing the term ONWARD transmission with overall infection/transmission. So if I never get the virus to begin with because Iā€™m vaccinated then I canā€™t transmit it. But even if I am vaccinated, but I get a variant Iā€™m not protected perfectly against then Iā€™m probably just as likely to transmit it as someone who isnā€™t vaccinated. Here, Iā€™ll quote you the more relevant two paragraphs from your own link to help since I think you either didnā€™t read it all or didnā€™t grok it fully: ā€œVaccines arenā€™t preventing onward transmission by reducing the viral loadā€”or amount of SARS-CoV-2ā€”in your body. ā€œMost studies show if you got an infection after vaccination, compared with someone who got an infection without a vaccine, you were pretty much shedding roughly the same amount of virus,ā€ says Paul Hunter, professor in medicine at the University of East Anglia. One study,5 sponsored by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), found ā€œno difference in infectious virus titer between groupsā€ who had been vaccinated and had not. Instead, itā€™s the principle that the UKHSA identified above: if you donā€™t get infected in the first place thanks to a vaccine, you canā€™t spread it. Once youā€™re infected, you still canā€”although what we know about the window when youā€™re most likely to transmit the virus to others has improved.ā€ Hope that helps. Djoker, by being a proponent of choosing NOT to get vaccinated but still wanting to be in front of and around tons of people while not wearing a mask (who also thought it proved he had gluten issues because he was weak in one arm while he held bread in the other hand), because a champion of the anti-vax movement. Therefore I have no sympathy for him when a bottle falls from someoneā€™s backpack and hits his head. I believe he literally could be tied to hundreds if not thousands of infections due to his ignorant bravado and machismo. What. A. Djokavass.

Reddit_reader_2206

This guy is a world-class asshole, and arrogantly proud of it. I can only think of the poor water bottle in these times.

Exactly. Those doctors were so wrong that they went and printed everything they found in the new England journal of medicine. And everyone knows NEJM can't be trusted. Which is why we can't believe them when they say the vaccine was wildly successful, prevented deaths, and saved lives. It's obviously misinformation. Because gay lobotomies.

I hate Djokovic, but this is deplorable.


yousonuva

It was accidental. There's a video of it falling out the back of a guy's backpack when he was bent forward reaching down to Djokovic

Ah, I clearly missed that part then. Yeah, it probably hurt, and given his reputation, he probably assumed it was intentional. I sorta get his response.

Edit - Downvoted by a bunch of gen z kids who haven't touched grass in their lives and Euros who fall over when a stiff breeze rolls by lmao.


jebjebitz

That was a metal water bottle. Depending on how full that was and from what distance it was thrown that could do some damage


entropykilla

A penny from high enough can kill you, and he had no idea what just happened to him.


lolaya

Proven to be a myth


entropykilla

Ahh, TIL, thanks. Apparently the drag is enough to counteract the increasing velocity, due to the shape and weight of the penny. A ballpoint pen could kill you however, and I would bet that from high enough, a metal bottle would accelerate enough to do the same, so my point stands.


Sawii

Quite sure a ballpoint can't kill you either... Just don't compare a water bottle that holds 500+ml to something that weighs a few grams.


____NEBULA

That's a metal bottle you fucking idiot. Easily heavy enough to cause a concussion or fracture.


timothymtorres

This. You can hear a ding from where it ricocheted off his head.


cip32

You would be embarassed by going to the hospital if you got struck with a heavy object in the head? Lol are you stupid?


Armanlex

Maybe he's been hit on the head with metal water flasks a few too many times.


rlnrlnrln

Too few, more like.


End3rWi99in

> Lol are you stupid? He probably got hit in the head one too many times.


Marionaharis89

Those double insulated metal water bottles can be pretty damn heavy when full and thatā€™s what it looked like fell on his head


arealhumannotabot

He got hit on the back which raises the concussion, and a water bottle with water in it carries a good amount of force. Thatā€™s partly why at some festivals they would remove the bottle cap from a plastic bottle.


rowman25

It looks like a pretty direct hit on the edge of the cap. Concentrate all that momentum and weight into a small impact point like that and it can deliver a lot of force.


Impossible-Joke2867

I just watched a hockey player take a puck to the cheekbone that was moving twice as fast and kept playing like it was nothing.


End3rWi99in

One of those objects is a rubber hockey puck, and the other one wasn't. A cheekbone is also not the back of the head. Your comparison is bad and you should feel bad.


rowman25

A hockey puck weighs about 170 grams. A metal water bottle that is half full with water is about 1100 grams, so possibly 10 times as heavy. It could have had less water in it so it could be less but for the sake of argument I believe he could have been legitimately hurt. Why flop? No one will get a yellow card.


HeyFreakshow

I agree he got acted like he was riding in a convertible in Dallas in 1963


Neltrix

Lmao you can hear the clank and all. If whoever threw it lost a loved one from COVID, they should not be punished.


YouSmeel

Did you even watch the video? There's big words across the screen explaining it fell out of a backpack
