The HQ doesn't know what to think about this but it has NEVER happened to us on the court...
Watch what happens to Caroline Wozniacki in her rally with Aliaksandra Sasnovich in the second round at the US Open.
Yeah...
Never happens to us...

Bellis Wins In Flushing At The Age of 15
((HT: ESPN/USTA))
CiCi Bellis became the youngest winner in the US Open since 1996 with her three-set win over 12th-seeded Dominika Cibulkova
Here's the highlights
She rallied from down a break in the third set for a 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 win. Anna Kournikova was 15 in 1996 and not since Mary Joe Fernandez was that age in 1986 had an American won at such a young age.

Wild Day At Wimbledon: Nadal, Sharapova, And The Williams Sisters Gone
((HT: Wimbledon/Shane B's Vine))
First, Maria Sharapova got bumped out in three sets by Angeline Kerber. The 19-year-old Aussie Nick Kyrgios has taken another huge, ranked player down in Rafa Nadal.
After saving 9 match points in his win over Richard Gasquet, Kyrgios took out the 2-time champ in four sets: 7-6 (7-5), 5-7, 7-6 (7-5), 6-3. He hit 37 aces and he's the first to get to the quarters in his tourney debut in a decade.
Obviously, Kyrgios, the 144th-ranked player in the world won't forget this moment at the All England Club
And, then, a very wobbly Venus Williams was encouraged to withdraw her sister-pairing in women's doubles
Evidence below
She was diagnosed with a viral illness.

Venus One And Done Down Under
((HT: ESPN))
22-seed Ekaterina Makarova knocked off Venus Williams in Day One, Round One of the 2014 Australian Open...
Here's the short version...
Venus loses in three sets 2-6, 6-4, 6-4
"My level was a little bit too up and down
"Obviously my error count was a little high," Williams said after the match. "I have to give her a lot of credit, though, she was very determined, played hard."
It was only the second time in 14 appearances that Venus lost in the first round. Her best appearance was a loss to her sister in the 2003 final.
