Český teenager sice podle očekávání získal proti 37letému matadorovi první set, v úvodu druhého dějství ale ztratil servis a musel dotahovat. Když následně neproměnil brejkbol při soupeřově podání a promarnil tak šanci na srovnání, vybublala v něm frustrace.
Vzteky mrštil raketou, která mu však navíc předčasně vyklouzla z ruky a odrazila se tak kuriózně, že vylétla až na tribunu. Sedačky v tomto místě nebyly moc obsazené, ale i tak si někteří diváci kryli obličeje a žena ve třetí řadě málem dostala zásah.
„Pane bože,“ vyděsil se komentátor přímého přenosu Lee Goodall, zatímco si český tenista nevěřícně prohlížel svoji dlaň, z níž mu raketa nekontrolovaně vylétla.

„Jaký z toho bude závěr, když míček skončil v hledišti? Jak shovívavý bude (rozhodčí) James Keothavong?“ pokračoval Goodall předtím, než bylo jasné, že Menšík z incidentu vyvázne jen s napomenutím.
V komentáři pro BBC nicméně uvedl někdejší čtvrtý hráč světa a wimbledonský vítěz Pat Cash, že Menšik může být rád, že nebyl diskvalifikován.
„Bylo jasné, že mu raketa vyklouzla z rukou, že v tom nebyl úmysl. Měl ale velké štěstí, že na těch sedačkách nikdo neseděl, jinak už by byl na cestě do hotelu,“ glosoval Cash. Někteří fanoušci však s výrokem sudího nesouhlasili a na sociálních sítích se dožadovali Menšíkova vyloučení.
Menšík sice na kurtu zůstal, ale své trápení zlomit nedokázal, po třísetové bitvě pro něj turnaj v londýnském Queensu skončil.

Today’s top games to watch, best bets, odds: Vast MLB slate, WNBA and more
There are times when storylines in sports are the manufactured byproduct of media-driven or fan-powered narratives, and there are other times when the scripts write themselves. The latter takes center stage Friday, when the biggest story on the 15-game MLB slate involves one of the game's biggest stars facing his former team less than a week after the biggest blockbuster trade of the season sent him to his new destination. Rafael Devers, now of the San Francisco Giants, suits up against the Boston Red Sox on Friday night when the AL East club makes a rare visit to Oracle Park to kickoff a three-game weekend interleague series. It's worth noting that the "noted athlete faces former team" is generally one of the most trite and hollow storylines we see pop up in professional sports. This is because, more often than […]

Sammy Sosa returns to Wrigley Field: Cubs legend makes his first official appearance at stadium since 2004
Famed slugger Sammy Sosa made his long-anticipated return to Wrigley Field on Friday -- his first official appearance at the stadium in 21 years -- for the Chicago Cubs' home contest against the Seattle Mariners (SEA-CHC GameTracker). When Sosa arrived at the stadium before the game, team owner Tom Ricketts greeted him with a hug. The 56-year-old Sosa spent parts of 13 seasons with the Cubs, and for much of that time, he was one of the most potent power hitters in baseball history. Of his 609 career home runs, 545 came with a Cubs jersey on his back. In 1998, he jousted with Mark McGwire of the rival Cardinals for the single-season home run record, and for his efforts, he was given the National League MVP award. In all, Sosa had three 60-homer seasons with the Cubs, and he made […]

Laken Litman College Football & Soccer Analyst <!--> AUSTIN, Texas – At the final whistle, Chris Richards dropped to the turf on one knee, looked up at the sky, crossed his chest and said a quick prayer. The U.S. men’s national team had just beaten Saudi Arabia 1-0 to clinch its second straight Gold Cup victory, and he was relieved.On a hot and sticky evening at Q2 Stadium, when the front line couldn’t find the back of the net, it was Richards who stepped up and not only saved a goal in the first half, but scored the winning one in the second. The result means the USMNT will advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament, despite still having one more group stage match against Haiti on Sunday (7 p.m. ET on FOX).
