Wimbledon doubles player dropped by brutal low blow

A men's doubles match came crashing to a halt at Wimbledon when Austrian player Oliver Marach was hit in a very tender area.

Marach and Mate Pavić were taking on Jay Clarke and Marcus Willis on Monday when Clarke hit a big smash straight at Marach.

The Austrian tried to get out of the way but couldn't avoid the ball, which just happened to hit him in the worst-possible spot.

Marach immediately hit the deck in a fair amount of pain, with every man watching on also suddenly feeling it.

Luckily for Marach he was able to continue, but not before a well-needed break and a lot of deep breaths.

Marach and Pavic went on to win 6-3, 6-4, 7-6(3).

It's not the first time we've seen this sort of thing on the tennis court:
