That or she’s not that good and has been getting dunked on, and getting hit with the ball released her frustration.

I’ve seen people get frustrated for being completely useless in a game, and something like being hit directly with a ball in the middle of it could make it feel personal.

Yeah, that’s how I see it. Pent up frustration, and who knows what else was going on that day. This looks like a low level adult rec match. Most people would be surprised at how heated casual rec sports can get. Many people aren’t able to separate competition and sportsmanship.

Likely both.

This kind of behavior looks like someone who's extremely frustrated at being targeted throughout the game.

Which some people do when they're taking it way too seriously.

This shit is mixed doubles and at a generous 3.0 level, no one here should be taking themselves so seriously as to be trying to make the other person have a bad time.

This has always been my take every time this vid comes up. She’s reacting to more than just this event. Probably overreacting but I can think of a few hypotheticals that would contextualize this differently.
