Juan Martin del Potro, Thanasi Kokkinakis Hit Same Wimbledon Line Judge on Serve

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.

Del Potro advanced to the second round with a 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (2), 6-4 victory over Kokkinakis. The line judge may want to invest in some body armor before working any more matches at All England Club.
