Who has been on the tennis court to mourn the death of a bird beaten by a tennis ball

In January 2002, at the Australian Open, France's Redra and Bout were in a tense men's doubles semi-final against another pair, Bout and Clement. Suddenly, a birdie caught catching a moth flew in over the pitch and was hit by a powerful return ball from Redera. At this time, a scene that moved hundreds of millions of viewers around the world appeared:

Bout, who was about to catch the ball, saw the bird landing, immediately threw away the racket, quickly ran to the place where the bird fell, and saw that the bird had fallen to the ground, so he knelt down on both knees, crossed his hand on his chest, and sent the final repentance and silence, until the referee wrapped the bird with a handkerchief and sent it to the outside of the field. At that moment, it must have been a heartfelt respect and pity for life that made Bout forget the final of the tennis Open, forget the gold medal, and forget the French flag slowly raised in "La Marseillaise"; At that moment, there was only one life in his heart, the life of a bird that was injured by chance. And the value of this birdie's life is far greater than the World Championship trophy.

If you're a bird, you certainly won't feel lucky.

I don't know what to say.

Make a name.

Got it!

It was in the men's doubles semifinals of the 2002 Australian Open, when a bird was hit by a flying tennis ball and killed instantly.

The match was played against four French players – Rodra and Santoro against Bout and Clemente. In the third set, Mitchell Rodra hit a low-flying birdie on the return ball. It was Rodra's opponent Bout (note not the batsman himself) who was the first to rush to the spot where Asuka had fallen, kneeling next to the birdie and making a cross on his chest.

The referee immediately suspended the game and towels the birdie out of the field, and the game continued, but the applause did not subside for a long time.

Two years ago, at the Wimbledon Open tennis tournament held in Australia, a little bird suddenly flew into the arena where the competition was raging, very unfortunate, it was like a drop of rain just fell into a bottle, and the tennis ball that was hit quickly hit hit the bird's body, and the bird fell to death on the spot. The athlete who hit the birdie (unfortunately I don't know his name) immediately stopped the race, walked up to the birdie, and fell to his knees in front of the birdie in front of him reverently and without hesitation for his mistake in front of so many spectators.
