Terence Atmane hits ball into the crowd, striking fan. Atmane’s opponent Sebastian Ofner appeared surprised by the outburst while the chair umpire quickly realised a woman had been struck by the ball. The official ran over and climbed into the stands to check on the fan, who could be seen rubbing her knee but appeared to brush off the incident.
