ATP world number 218 Evan Furness hit his head against a wall before entering the court for a match at the Open de Rennes, a tournament on the ATP Challenger circuit. A tennis fan labeled the moment "the best entrance of the year."

J'en peux plus.
Meilleure entrée de l'année ðŸ¤£. Il y a trop de moyens à l'@OpenBlotRennes . Les joueurs (@FurnessEvan) sont aveuglés par les effets spéciaux. pic.twitter.com/G9OuPi8O9B — Tennis Legend (@TennisLegende) September 16, 2022

Furness got eliminated in the second round of the Rennes Open by Gregoire Barrere.

Another painful moment happened during this year's US Open. Trying to catch a tennis ball coming from the court, a female US Open fan fell on stairs at a match and hit her head. According to Eurosport, the fan is alright. “Ouch (Twitter reliably informs us that she’s okay!),” Eurosport captioned the video.
