I just watched that as well! Was funny that Tim didnt think he had done anything wrong. He did manage to redeem himself though.
There are some people on beeb going way over the top saying nalby should be banned from wimbledon and that we should all boo him there and the olympics. Ridiculous.

It's pathetic. In professional sport people lose their cool when there is so much at stake it's normal and it happens, just look at our beloved Andy. Which makes it more funny as it seems to be the same people who are lambasting Dave who get riled by other people who have a go at Andy's behaviour. (this isn't an attack on Andy by the way) I actually admire people like Dave and Andy who show passion on court. It's a good thing. Shows how much desire they have and the will to win! If anything I'd like to see more heart on court!
It does looks terrible when the BBC show countless images and replays of the lino's gashed leg but fact of the matter is that Nalbandian lost his cool and kicked the sideboard without realising Lino was there. How was he to know to the sideboard would cave in as well? Is he Mysteg Meg or something?

Easy to forget about an on court lino when your mind is so locked in the game play situation.

Good news for Andy though one less dangerous floater to be wary off ;)
He didn't mean to hit the line judge that is what I meant by a complete accident, he was just lashing out and the wood smashed inwards.
Well from your friendly on site legal eagle, what Nalby did was nothing short of reckless. In other words not intentional but was totally without regard to the possible outcome of his action and so thoughtless as to be reckless as to whether he might hurt someone or not. For example if you set fire to a house believing it to be empty you clearly dont intend to kill anyone but if someone dies you would be guilty of murder. Imho Nalby's action was reckless as to the harm he might cause the line judge who was right in front of where he kicked and confined to a relatively small box. He could have caused him even greater injury than he did imho and so he was reckless and had to be dealt with. Bad example to youngsters too. Breaking your own racket on the ground is bad but doesn't put anyone else at risk. Sorry end of lecture.

But the difference between Andy's on-court frustrations and David's is that Andy's is directed at himself. I can't remember even seeing him destroy a racquet before, let alone damage part of the court advertising boards. David should have known better than to kick out, especially as the match was still very winnable for him. It was a mistake on his part and I'm sure he regrets his actions but disqualification was definitely the right decision.

I can't find the exact tweet but as I understand it Nalby is already carrying a $8k fine from the AO. If his conduct at Queens merits more than a $12k fine then the 2 added together take him over $20k and that triggers an 8-week suspension excepting Grand Slams which are not controlled by the ATP. That is how I remember reading it but the person tweeting might not be right. I don't know about the Olympics but they are not controlled by the ATP. The ITF might consider imposing sanctions but I've no idea how these things are dealt with.

Possibly but his emotions were rife and it must have been bitterly disappointing for him. Perhaps it wasn't wise to launch an attack on the ATP but I can sort of understand where he is coming from. Don't forget he had to play consecutively in one day and hadn't featured on center court until the final. Agree that the time wasn't appropriate for him to say that though.
BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/18479244) - David Nalbandian investigated by police after line judge injury
Police are investigating a complaint of alleged assault against David Nalbandian, who was disqualified from the Aegon Championships final after a line judge was injured.
I have looked at the BBC videos again and they do not show the line judge falling off the chair, which they showed several times on TV after the event.

Unbelievable that the police are investigating Nalbandian for 'alleged assault'. He made a mistake and has apologised for it - there was no intent to hurt the lines judge.

Just a waste of peoples tax money!
The police statement says that they are investigating a 'complaint of alleged assault'. I think the only person who could lodge such a complaint would the 'victim', which must mean that the line judge has complained to the police - totally OTT in my opinion.

Which makes me slightly suspicious about the delay before the linesman fell off the chair.

That's ridiculous!! Unless there's a complaint there's no assault as far as the police are concerned so unless the line judge has reported the incident they shouldn't even be getting involved. If that happened at a local club or a similar incident in daily life nothing would come of it. Technically because it's required stitches he could be arrested for ABH but obviously discretion comes into it. There's absolutely no intent, a minor hint of reckless behaviour and he's apologised immediately. Personally if I was called to this incident unless the victim was utterly outraged and demanded some action be taken I would not even begin to think of making an arrest and even then the bloke is hardly likely to be charged anyway. The custody sarge would probably laugh me out the door.
To be honest the phrase 'seriously injured' in reference to the injury caused is rather dramatic too. It's a wooden board it was a miracle that it even broke the skin rather than just gave him a heavy clunk on the leg and resulted in some nasty bruising. I've no doubt it caused him a fair amount of pain but it's a minor cut at most

Could scarsely believe it but reports say a complaint has neen made. Obviously it wasn't Nalbandian's finest moment but surely there is no case to answer.

The whole thing is getting farcical. I suppose though, once he'd fallen off his chair, he could easily have had a quick word with Andrew Castle about contacting first4lawyers. Lol.
I couldn't quite believe my eyes yesterday! Nalby clearly didn't lash out with the intent of hurting the line judge, but hurt him he did! How Nalby could not have seen the man sitting so close to where he kicked, I cannot believe!! Completely the right and only decision to default him.
I thought it was handled really badly though because many people in the crowd would not have seen what actiually happened - it should have been explained to them what happened and why Nalby had to be defaulted. That would have stopped most of the booing.
As for the assault charges, yes, taking things a bit far but having been a linejudge, I can assure you, they put up with a lot of stuff from the players that you never see on TV (muttered obsenities and the like) just for doing their job. Some of the players had a real reputation for it, and it isn't always the ones you would think.

Hmm ... it seems the line judge at the centre of all this has returned to work.
Stuart Fraser @stu_fraser (https://twitter.com/#%21/stu_fraser)
Also here at Wimbledon qualifying is line judge Andrew McDougall.
Straight back to work after the Nalbandian incident yesterday.
So he obviously isn't seriously injured - what a storm in a teacup! It really could only happen at somewhere like Queen's.
Yes, I think they over exaggerated the 'serious' bit of the injury ... but that's not really the point is it? The point is that the disqualification was the right thing to do, they just could have handled the whole thing a lot better.
may not be the line judge who squealed, very plausible could have come from a member of the public reporting it to the police

Erm - he isn't going to be getting anything by way of the criminal system - not much anyway even if he goes to the criminal injuries compensation board - if he really wants to make money he'd be better off taking out a civil action.
Maybe he just wants to prolong his moment in the spotlight!

tennis.com (http://tennis.com/ticker/index.aspx) - Nalbandian could face suspension, more fines
The ATP will conduct a review of David Nalbandian's actions during the Queen’s Club final, where he kicked an advertising board into the leg of a linesman and injured him. Nalbandian was immediately defaulted from the match, giving Marin Cilic the title.
Nalbandian has already received the maximum on-site fine and lost all of the prize money and points he earned from the tournament, but ATP rules state that an offense such as the one he committed could result in a suspension or further fines under the "Major Offense of Aggravated Behavior" and/or "Conduct Contrary to the Integrity of the Game" codes. Nalbandian did apologize, but also launched into an unsolicited attack of the ATP during a TV interview, which could also incur a fine or suspension.
At the 2012 Australian Open, Nalbandian was fined $8,000 for throwing water at a staff member following his five-set loss to John Isner. However, because the Grand Slams and the ATP often do not work in concert, the ATP does not take into account the amount of the Australian Open fine, which would have resulted in an automatic review due to the ATP's "Cumulative On-Site Offenses" rule, which could have immediately resulted in an additional $10,000 fine and an eight-week suspension.
An ATP spokesperson told TENNIS.com that Nalbandian's overall behavior in the past 12 months would likely be taken account when the ATP's Executive Vice President of Rules and Competition reviews the case.
It appears highly unlikely that Nalbandian will miss Wimbledon, even if he is suspended. An appeal would delay any suspension; also, the Grand Slams and the ATP have no agreement on player suspension rules, so Wimbledon would have to separately rule to suspend him.
In addition, police are investigating a complaint made against Nalbandian due to the incidents. A spokesman for Scotland Yard told the British press that "the Metropolitan Police Service is investigating. The allegation is of assault."—Matt Cronin

I am not sure how they can claim assault as he didnt direct his anger at the linesman and intentionally hurt him, he was unfortunate to get hurt as Nalbandian hit the board in anger - as a consequence the linesman got injured.
I dont agree with what he did and what happened, but not sure the police is necessary or needed in this case.

In all this discussion no-one has commented on the fragility of the "furniture" at tennis tournaments. Nole demolishes a bench and Nalby destroys the wooden box. Now Nole did that damage with his racquet while David did it with his foot. Perhaps they need to spend more money on these accessories...they charge enough for tickets.

Well said, Pat. I guess intent is relevant, but not the only consideration, and people should be held accountable for the results of their actions regardless.
I think comparing it to setting someones house on fire is a bit extreme though Pabbers.
I don't think Pat was suggesting that the two actions were comparable, just the difference in each case between intent and outcome - I think, anyway...?
well if fire is to extreme perhaps driving is a good example,
if someone is speeding down a street and injures someone they deserve severe punishment whether they set out to injure someone or not

Well moving away from intent etc IMHO the guy's behaviour was downright aggressive and a disgraceful example to anyone. The linesman thankfully wasn't looking as Nalby approached but if he had been, he might have had a heart attack - looked like he was headed straight for him rather than the box..........now if he'd had a heart attack........ok i won't go back to intent and murder etc.....but our actions and their consequences do need bearing in mind and these days IMHO people don't seem to expect to take responsibility for their actions - always someone else's or something else's (in this case the flimsy box) fault.

My remarks about flimsy furniture were meant to lighten the situation. The chap's leg was cut..it was an accident, albeit caused by temper and he didn't need stitches. Thinking back to 02 and supergramp's cuts and bruises and injuries suffered because of tackles (He was once on crutches for 6 weeks) perhaps ex-rugby players are a little bit tougher and a little more sanguine than tennis officials. This is my last word on the subject except to say I was once hit very hard by a rugby ball. It hurt when it happened and I did have a huge bruise on my leg but I managed to recover quite well in the bar.
