Ouch. Just ouch.

The mens' singles final may have been an absolute thriller, but the real excitement of the day came in the doubles final, when French pair Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Huges Herbert took on Simone Bolelli and Fabio Fognini. The Italian pair may have won the title, but it was Mahut who undoubtedly had the shot of the day, absolutely nailing Herbert with a serve to the back of the net. 200kph, or 124mph in old money. Either way, that one certainly had to hurt.
