Andrew GouldJul 4, 2017

A Wimbledon line judge had a rough morning during Juan Martin del Potro's first-round victory over Thanasi Kokkinakis.

Del Potro fired a serve Kokkinakis had no chance of defending. Neither did the judge, who got pegged on his arm by the rocket off Del Potro's racket.

Later in the match, per ESPN.com, a Kokkinakis serve hit the same judge. After getting caught off guard the first time, he unsuccessfully attempted to catch the second serve.
