Tennis player needs chair to congratulate giant opponent
This is a pretty ingenious way to hug someone, that’s for sure.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Being short isn’t necessarily an impediment, sometimes it just means you need to be a little more resourceful. Nobody knows this better than the absolutely-not-short Dudi Sela, who’s 5’9 but looked tiny after losing to the mountainous 6’10 Ivo Karlović at the Claro Open in Columbia.
Sela had a decision to make after falling to Karlović in two sets. He could either walk to the net and stare up at his opponent to congratulate him, or he could take the path less traveled and use a prop so he could give him a hug. Using a chair like this hearkens back to fond memories of trying to steal a cookie from the jar your mom always placed on the top shelf.
We love you sports.
