Maria Sharapova Nails Novak Djokovic In The Crotch With A Tennis Ball. You’re Welcome.

So in some weird moment where Maria Sharapova told Novak Djokovic she could knock a can off of his head by hitting a tennis ball, to what should be to no one’s surprise, she subsequently hit him straight in the crotch.

If you thought Sharapova was actually going to hit that can, you’re crazy. The only thing up for debate was where Djokovic was going to get tagged. I mean, Sharapova is standing like 10 feet away from him when she hits the ball. The best case scenario was this ball hit him in the face.

BUT WAIT. Like any good journalist, I’m going to read between the lines here. We know how much of an aphrodisiac the Olympics is to athletes. What if… Djokovic and Sharapova both had ulterior motives here? BEAR WITH ME. For Djokovic, he knows there’s no chance that Sharapova is going to hit that can. But now, he can turn around and say, “Oh, you just nailed me in the crotch, now you have to sleep with me.” DEVIOUS. (And yes, I know he’s dating Jelena Ristic, but it’s Maria freakin’ Sharapova.)

And for Sharapova, she knows she can’t knock off the can from 10 feet away. Like when the dude on Seinfeld bets Elaine Dustin Hoffman is in Star Wars to con her into going on a date with him. Sharapova knows she’s gonna have to pay up when she tags Djokovic. (And yes, I know Sharapova is engaged to Sasha Vujačić, but he’s a bum with a girl’s name, and Novak Djokovic is an infinite upgrade.) So everybody sort of wins here, except Djokovic’s area. SUCCESS. SCIENCE.
