(VIDEO) Moment a spectator was hit on the head by an Azarenka shot from a completely different court at Wimbledon
WTA
Victoria Azarenka was in dazzling form as she took down 11th seed, Daria Kasatkina and was hitting everything on the court as well as accidentally spectators off it at Wimbledon.
Playing on Court 12, she produced a superb drop shot that bounced over the court and hit a bloke who was on another court on the back of the head.

Some called it the shot of the year in the reply, while others remarked about Miyu Kato at Roland Garros being defaulted for an incident hitting a ball person.
Another remarked that they tried watching the match but had to turn it off as it sounded like a puppy being tortured. A tad harsh.
Next up for Azarenka will be Elina Svitolina in one of the landmark Last 16 clashes on Sunday. Likely on a bigger court meaning members of the outside courts won't be cowering in case of being hit.
