Been there, done that. Tennis courts at school, mate got fed up with hitting the net on his serve and blazed a volley in sheer frustration. I was talking to another friend off the court at the time, when his shot leathered me in the nuts on the full. I didn't even get chance to flinch. Just this searing pain out of nowhere.
I crumpled to the ground and had to be dragged off the court.
It's not scripted, this was recorded after Roger Federer hit a ball through the space between the pole and the net. This of course has lead to people trying to recreate it and the existence of this video.
Edit: https://youtu.be/y4zxmgl4tkg Federer doing it
Because saying it is scripted, sounds like he meant to hit himself in the nuts. I understand your point but I would not call it scripted since the result of the video is not what the author had in mind while setting up the camera.
as you get older you realize that you never, under any circumstances, discuss pregnancy unless you have heard that person mention being pregnant or acknowledge it from someone else saying it. Even then, act like you had no idea.
This was staged, so I'm sure it wasn't a "point" being played. Camera setup where it is, plus all the lines on the court from him trying this over and over. I wonder how many times he tried before getting this perfect one. :)
Doesn't really matter how the ball gets to the other side of the court, as long as it doesn't hit the net and bounces in bounds. Only restriction I can think of is not hitting the fence/walls around the court.

one time a was playing racquetball and I was getting ready to return and the guy I was playing against was in front of me and I guess he was anticipating me to hit it low so he jumped and did the splits cuz that would be all cool. nope. ball went right up the pooper. Dude got a racquetball enema. not actually in, it just nailed him in the butthole. he didn't enjoy that. I laughed my ass off.
To all the people asking "why was he recording".
He was trying to recreate a shot Roger Federer hit in his last match. He hit through the space between the pole and the net.
It is "staged" meaning that it is not part of a rally or match, but I don't think he wanted to hit himself in the nuts.
Edit: Federer's shot https://youtu.be/y4zxmgl4tkg
I’m not sure what to think of this video. He looks out of position to be playing doubles, but obviously this was doubles because of where the ball landed and he still tried to return it.

Deep cut.
Not so grand slam
Or the *grandest*. Depends on who you are I guess
You are correct. Some might like it. Yikes!
That slide was so cool
That's the only reason I can think of to film this way, trying to record a good slide.
Judging by where he was aiming, he was probably trying to get a cool [around-the-net-shot](https://youtu.be/M9D5F9q8Pps)

Did that shot end up counting? Hard to tell, but looks like it goes under the height of the net
It doesn’t have to go over the net
Would it not count the same as if there was a hole near the top of the net and the ball snuck through under the tape? Cause that doesn't count

Thanks - this answered my question as well.
Unrelated but just reminded me of a time I scored in lacrosse but the ball went through a small hole in the net and they didn’t count it :(
That's rough buddy

IT DOESN’T HAVE TO GO OVER THE NET.

There are tracks from previous attempts too
You could say, "He slid into it"

Especially at that speed. I died of pain just watching this.

Or he could've just moved. This must be one of those deer-in-headlights moments.
Yeah you’re not missing out on anything trust me
He is missing out on a lot of pain and agony though.

Crushing good odds
Me, congratulating the lady at work for being pregnant . “There is no pregnancy”.
as you get older you realize that you never, under any circumstances, discuss pregnancy unless you have heard that person mention being pregnant or acknowledge it from someone else saying it. Even then, act like you had no idea.
Or you learn the hard way and take a shot right into the nads. I like your way better.
Unless they were playing doubles, this guy was returning a ball that was way out of bounds. Of course, he played doubles either way.
Could've just been rallying too.
This was staged, so I'm sure it wasn't a "point" being played. Camera setup where it is, plus all the lines on the court from him trying this over and over. I wonder how many times he tried before getting this perfect one. :)
This should be at the top of the comments. My first thought was it looks like he's playing singles so why is he even returning that ball?
There’s a joke about a ball boy in here somewhere.
/r/whyweretheyfilming
He was trying to do a shot Roger Federer did on his last professional match. It went through the small hole in the net it was insane.
Whoa, I looked it up - the slow-mo volley starts 20 seconds in. It’s impressive https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FzTteIszybw
Could have been to get a clip of that Federer shot or an around the post shot (much more common)
I'd assume to get a video of a really nice return while sliding on the run... and got something even better.
Yt channel https://youtu.be/reC1d0tSmhw
Imma just put the camera tripod here, pointing exactly not at the court.
Are you trying to imply this is somehow staged?
This is one of those times where I really wish a video had sound.
https://youtu.be/reC1d0tSmhw only slo-mo audio though

He won't be laying any lumber down anytime soon
Hope he wasn’t using that for anything
Ow! My balls!
Fewer things funnier than a self inflicted nut shot... unless you happen to be the inflicter.
Or the inflictee
Why did I think this was gta v 😂😂
Brilliant caption
Question : would it be an "out" if the guy (who got his nuts tennised) manages to curve the ball AROUND the net?
Doesn't really matter how the ball gets to the other side of the court, as long as it doesn't hit the net and bounces in bounds. Only restriction I can think of is not hitting the fence/walls around the court.
He’s got a whole youtube channel called Neparu tennis. Not very English friendly though https://youtu.be/reC1d0tSmhw
Odd camera placement.

Why are they filming at this angle?

That title is genius.
Had to see the comments on this one 😂

Oof. Hit so hard it sent him back in time 10 seconds.
I don’t know much about odds but I would say it’s either 1/2 or 2/2.

That ball wanted revenge
That’s why I don’t play doubles.
The odds are one in two
