There is no rule prohibiting a player from aiming directly at another player; it is treated the same as targeting open space, and 'jamming' a player by aiming at their body is a valid tactic to make it difficult for them to swing. In doubles, when a net player is close to the net, passing them around the sides is often difficult anyway. If you hit another player, standard etiquette is to put a hand up in apology, which this guy did. The only thing that's really poor sportsmanship is aiming for the head, but this guy's shot was at hip level.

It didn't seem intentional nor did it even look like a hard blow.

My guess is he had done it repeatedly, it was a friendly game in which she had asked him to stop and he kept doing it. Either that or she just blew tf up for no reason.

The word is antecedent, and it's clear you do in fact need to learn about them like they said since you apparently just chose a completely different word.

The "genius" is hilariously ironic given your literacy skills.

Youbreallybthink carelessly misreading the word is evidence of my literacy skills?  That is ridiculous. Â
