This video comes from an ATP Challenger match in Napoli between the Polish duo of Mateusz Kowalczyk and Adam Majchrowicz and Australian Rameez Junaid and England’s Ken Skupski. The quarterfinals match was called in the second set when Majchorowicz nailed Junaid in the back of the head.

Majchorowicz had double-faulted and Skupski returned the ball. Majchorowicz then smashed the ball back towards his opponents out of frustration just as an unsuspecting Junaid had just turned around. Junaid’s body then slowly shut down as he ended up on the ground. He apparently stayed there until the chair umpire disqualified the Polish team.

Gero Kretschmer and Alexander Satschko defeated Junaid and Skupski in the semifinals today.
