Well  what did you expect then? She was hurt because of his recklessness.

Djokovic, 33, showed his frustration after losing serve to trail 6-5 against Spain's Pablo Carreno Busta.
The Serbian world number one took a ball out of his pocket and hit it behind him, striking the female line judge in her throat.

I don't see why it was so hard to reach the obvious conclusion: he had to be kicked hard!

Man blows up part of house while chasing fly

Was the fly that important as to blow it up!?

He picked up an electric racket designed to kill bugs and start swatting at it - but a gas canister was leaking in his Dordogne home.
A reaction between the racket and the gas caused an explosion, destroying the kitchen and partly damaging the roof of the home in Parcoul-Chenaud village.

There's a possibility that the fly managed to escape anyway...

The storm is headed towards Busan, South Korea's second-largest city, said the country's weather agency.
More than 300 flights from 10 airports were cancelled, with some train services suspended.
The typhoon caused a loss of power across hundreds of thousands of homes in Japan, though initial assessments suggest it did less damage than feared.
Nearly 430,000 homes in the Kyushu region were without power as of 03:00 local time Monday (18:00 GMT Sunday), Japanese public broadcaster NHK reported.
Haishen has led to the closure of factories, schools and businesses across western Japan. Hundreds of flights and train services were also cancelled.

Creek Fire: Helicopters rescue dozens of trapped California campers

Helicopters have rescued more than 200 people trapped after a wildfire set 45,000 acres alight and cut off a popular reservoir in California, officials say.
About 20 of the people were hurt, some with burns.
The Creek Fire began on Friday in the Sierra National Forest, cutting off the Mammoth Pool Reservoir, 40 miles (60km) north-east of Fresno.
The temperature has hit 47C (117F), part of a record heatwave in the state.

Even if the situation could worsen at any time, two victims preferred to stay behind. Who wouldn't wanna be rescued as soon as possible!?

Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency on Friday amid warnings that power cuts could be implemented on a rotating basis to meet excessive demand.

Great... Now Californians should worry sick about fires AND blackouts. Right, let's add a to the list.

Did I say California was hot? It surely was an understatement.

The move would eliminate a requirement for new Northern Ireland customs arrangements, which are intended to prevent the return of checks at the border with the Irish Republic.
Labour attacked the plan. No 10 says it is a standby in case trade talks fail.
Boris Johnson is expected to say later that if no agreement is reached by 15 October, both sides should "move on".
The prime minister will tell EU counterparts that completing the UK's exit from the bloc without a trade deal would still be a "good outcome".

No trade deal would be a good result!? How exactly is that something good at all? EU could demand British products go through checks that could otherwise be prevented. What makes the UK Prime Minister feel so self confident now?

Meanwhile a certain actress and her husband go Hollywood! Or Netflix!?
