Intro so if things could get any crazier in the tennis world at the moment we've had Mickelson in the final win to Salem playing against Sono launching a ball into the crowd and hitting someone in the face or hitting someone in the crowd they were in distress he didn't get defaulted and it's caused a massive stir online let's go have a look at the reaction so melson was down a break Michelsen Hits Fan point he comes to the net tries to hit a ball it goes over the Baseline he grabs the ball in his pocket and he smacks it as hard as he can and it hits someone in the front row instantly regrets his decision I mean you could tell his face said it all that it was just not what he was planning to do so is the reaction Internet Reaction online from Ben Rothenberg players laoding balls into the crowd is a serious danger to Spectators and there should be a zero tolerance rule adapted for it ASAP getting lucky about where it hits shouldn't be enough to escape major penalty or default an example should be set tennis updates also had something to say about it saying this is undoubtedly worse than anything shapovalov did to get defaulted so many inconsistencies and to me the way the fan reacts shouldn't really matter if you hit a fan and Gasper rero lancha says this is a default every day everywhere ridiculous tennis letter also says Alex mikkelson launched the ball into the stands in anger and hit a fan the Umpire went to check on the fan and the fans said they were okay Alex avoids being defaulted from the match players have been defaulted for Less make it consistent so there you have it that is what the Outro internet is saying about this incident let me know down in the comments below what you think should have happened I think it's unanimous everybody's thinking that it should be a default and maybe it should could be because we have seen players over the last couple of weeks and even over the last few years get defaulted for less of course we know about shaav valov hitting the ball into the umpire's face in the Davis Cup match a few years ago jovic the most famous default of recent times especially when it comes to hitting a ball at somebody hit someone in the throat a lions woman and she couldn't continue which meant he got defaed four years ago that happened and now this one but it seems like the crowds aren't protected in this situation you know we've seen a lot of issues with crowds getting hit by balls by uh you know I think Mev I think earlier in the year had a similar situation uh the difference is if it hits an official and they aren't able to continue that means that you are defaulted so if you heard someone to the point that they can't do their job so an Umpire an official a ball kid that's when you get defaulted but when you hit someone in the crowd especially if they're a fan of the player that they they got hit by so melson fans getting hit by a ball don't want him to get defaulted for that so it's weird to kind of and I can understand why they don't default for the fans getting hurt but there should be something done I don't know what it should be but letm me cross what do you think it should be but nichelson almost gets defaed in with the Salem
