Tennis star Rafael Nadal was in the middle of a point against Federico Delbonis on Thursday during the second round of the Australian Open when one of his shots went awry.

Nadal, on the far side of the court, attempted to return Delbonis’ serve but instead, his shot angled toward the left sideline and hit the ball girl who was standing by the umpire’s chair.

“For her, it was probably not a good moment,” Nadal told reporters after the match, according to TMZ Sports. “She is a super-brave girl. It was one of my most scary moments that I had on the tennis court, as the ball went straight onto her head.”
