Should be banned for life.
If he doesn't know better than to behave like that at age 30, he's never going to.
Fucking hate tennis players.

What Nalbandian did is poor, but the line judge made a meal of it.
But it's just another case of a sport that has forgotten it's there to entertain the public. They could have fined him after the game or banned him from Wimbledon, but to end the game halfway through when there's a capacity crowd and millions watching around the world is pathetic.

I am not sure he did make a meal of it, he was bleeding a lot:

It was a bad cut. He milked it for all he could though.
But bad cut or not, tennis is in the entertainment business. If the projectionist at your local Vue cinema got injured because Bruce Willis kicked him in the shins the cinema wouldn't cancel the film.

I didn't see any of it apart from the clip but did he apologise after he did it?
If so then I then they have made a meal of it, the guy is a professional at his sport, he is going to lash out now and again if he isn't winning that's what happens. Just a shame the guy was sat behind the board at the time.
When he plays at Wimbeldon no doubt some tossers will boo him and ask for him to be kicked out of it.

That was seriously stupid, couldn't he have just gone in on something AWAY from a human.
Deserves a ban i think, dumb.

When I lose my temper, I choose to channel it in a way that isn't going to be physically harmful to people that are in no way the subject of my anger, because there's an acceptable way of behaving and an unacceptable way.
To say that this is all OK because it's just unfortunate that the bloke was sat behind the board when it happened isn't right. Nalbandian knew full well there was a considerable chance he would injure the guy, but chose to do it anyway.
When Bolton lose at home on the first day of the season, I'm going to get angry and set fire to Nando's. It will just be a shame that the place was full of chavs at the time.

Most of the line judges in Lawn Tennis are volunteers. The old boy who got his leg gashed was clearly in some discomfort and although Nalbandian didn't meant to take his frustration out on the guy's leg he should have behaved more professionally.
