"If a peeved Roger Federer had yanked.....

If a peeved Roger Federer had yanked a tennis ball from his pocket before a changeover and smacked it inadvertently toward a lineswoman, that ball would have traveled elegantly and obediently and come to rest so delicately as to go unnoticed, even by the lineswoman. A violinist might have turned up nearby, properly masked.

If a peeved Rafael Nadal had yanked a tennis ball from his pocket before a changeover and smacked it inadvertently toward a lineswoman, that ball would have traveled with a delicious spin until it stopped safely shy of the person, whereupon it would have practiced the utmost manners. It even might have tried to rub its fuzz on her cheek to improve her day.
