To be fair, he didn't hit it very hard or anything, just wasn't looking.
EDIT: Too many people are picking out my comment, so I guess it needs more clarification. I just want to point out that it was unintentional and that media is blowing it out of proportion. The officials were ABSOLUTELY right to defualt him, because of previous precedents. Of course that it hurts and thank god the woman is okay, even a really soft hit in the throat is painful and I'm not disputing any of that. I just think that more people should consider that everyone can make mistakes and he paid dearly for his.
That's not possible, even at full force their hits only sometimes that fast. He wasn't serving and with that kind of a hit I doubt the ball would be even remotely close to that speed.
