That's Not How You Take A Serve

Yesterday I shared with you the pain of being Felix Pie after he stole second base on Wednesday. Well, Felix Pie doesn't have anything on Marc Gicquel.

Who's Marc Gicquel? He's a tennis player. A tennis player that took a serve directly to his balls.

"Frenchman Marc Gicquel is dragged away by a doctor after he received a serve, travelling at 208 kilometres per hour, in the testicles during the fourth day of the Halle ATP tennis tournament, 14 June 2007 at the Gerry-Weber-Stadion in Halle, western Germany. Gicquel continued his second-round tie against German Benjamin Becker after treatment."
In case you're wondering how fast 208 KPH is in American, it's 129 MPH.

Still, even after taking an 129 MPH serve to his groin, I'm pretty sure Gicquel is faking it. I mean, he's French. Since when did he have balls?

Ballhype: hype it up!
