Tennis star Holger Rune accidentally smashed a Wimbledon ball boy in the face during his clash against Novak Djokovic in the last 16 on Monday.

At the end of a rally in the second game of the second set, Rune tried to return the ball to his opponent but his shot accidently hit a ball boy right in his face.

Rune immediately ran over to the ball boy on Centre Court to check that he was okay and thankfully he was able to continue.

‘He hit that hard,’ John McEnroe said on commentary duties for the BBC. ‘[The ball boy is] pretending like it didn’t happen!’
