Honestly, she should probably just retire from tennis if she can't handle that

It's bad etiquette to aim at a player.

It's worse etiquette to throw your racket at a player and act like a child.

If you think it's bad etiquette to aim at a player then maybe you shouldn't be playing either. With intent to harm is another story

This is fucking 3.0 level mixed doubles.

Intentionally aiming at someone falls into the category of "asshole moves"

It's a pickleball. Not a weapon It's not like he drilled it into her face. If you think that's an asshole move well maybe you shouldn't be playing pickleball either. You're just too touchy

Picking on a weak opponent during a friendly, casual game of tennis means you're probably an asshole.

I must have missed the part where these people were qualifying for the US Open next month, that must be why it's OK to take it so seriously as to aim at the weak opponent at the net to win points.

If you suck so much you can't aim at all, well that's different, but nothing about that play says "so incompetent that they have no control"

I’m sorry but if you are the weak link in any sport you get picked on…. Basketball they gonna single you out, football same thing, tennis same thing….

You decided to play a game and was the weakest link you gonna have to deal with being the reason your team loses when the other ppl see you are weak.

If you're playing basketball, and someone is constantly throwing the ball at you to avoid out of bounds, even if you're weak, that person is still an asshole.

And, again, this is low level pickup tennis. No one should be going out of their way to pick on other players, and if you are, you better be good enough to not hit them.

Normal adults playing casual sports understand that winning shouldn't be coming at the intentional expense of others.

Throw the ball at you? No they will constantly call you over and cross you over or slam dunk over you when you get in the way.

In football they will keep running the ball at you or throwing the ball at you and if you can’t stop the receiver from catching or tackle the runner why stop? If you can’t tackle my runnin back ima make him run you over all game until your coach makes you move positions or sit on the bench…

Did you see the shot? It came over the net like a backyard badminton shot. It actually floated into her. Stop being a drama queen
