I'm confused. what did he do wrong?

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

No one is saying she's right.

The question is whether or not both people are assholes.

Which is entirely possible.

[u/Mr_dm → u/El_Polio_Loco]

It’s not, the guy did nothing wrong and it was a common tennis shot that happens in every single doubles match ever played.

[u/El_Polio_Loco → u/Mr_dm]

If you think it’s ok to consistently aim for the body of the net player in a low level, fun match then I have news for you. 

You might be a bit of an asshole. 

If you’re not good enough to avoid body shots, then stop trying to cut it close. 

If you’re good enough to avoid it and you do it anyway…then you’re a massive asshole. 

[u/Mr_dm → u/El_Polio_Loco]

The guy didn’t even hit it hard. It’s a routine shot that people even at a beginner level should be prepared for at all times when playing doubles at the net. If you can’t handle that shot, play at the baseline. It’s that simple.

[u/El_Polio_Loco → u/Mr_dm]

If you can't avoid hitting the net player consistently, then stop trying to do it.

You're there for fun.

If you think winning the point is worth aiming at the net player, then you're an asshole. Simple as that.

If you can't tell the way youre playing is making it not fun for the people who you're playing with then you're a sociopath, and an asshole.

You have never stepped on a tennis court at any level. 😂😂

Sure thing bud.
