A video posted by ESPN Tennis (@espntennis) on



Get it? Clocks out? Well, if you glance quickly at the video above you’ll see what we mean. The one and only Gael Monfils leaps for a smash, bumps into the clock and it topples onto him. Eventually the clock broke into pieces and was partially repaired by staff before play continued.

“I was surprised, because it hurt me a little bit,” Monfils said. “You know, could be pretty bad. Could have fallen on my ankle or calf and could be more than that.”

Fortunately nobody got hurt, EVERYBODY SMILED, and Monfils was able to complete his 6-4, 6-2, 7-6(5) victory over Gilles Muller without any further clock malfunctions.
