They were both quite close to the net at the time and Taylor took dead aim and hit through Moutet.
Players are defaulted for unintentionally hitting lines people … and this is ok? Before the haters hate, put yourself in his shoes. Should this be seen as unsportsmanlike? Should we set an example for juniors 🤔

Perfectly legal, questionably lovable. The Friend at Court doesn’t ban headhunting — but your club captain might. ⚖️🎾 #WhatstheCall

It was a passing shot hit in the direction of the opponent to make it difficult to play the ball...

Even if it’s intentional sometimes, body shots are part of the game. You can’t start calling them unsportsmanlike, how would anyone judge intent? It’s pure guesswork and kills legit strategy.

No, if you choose to stand there it's up to you. If you don't like it, stay at the baseline.

Clearly these people have never watched college tennis🤦 players will try to hit through you in college doubles. I know from experience. When you get hit in the chest by an overhead out of the air, you won’t feel bad for pros who get hit

When you walk into the court as a player you accept the risk of being hit by the ball as part of it. If you are that close to someone, it is really difficult to go around/above them, and you're trying to win the point. Bad luck for Moutet, but surely is not the first time nor the last time it happens.
