Not happy to be honest but not a lot I can do I suppose.

So my D3 A8 is still sat unloved with a totally flat battery and will be the same for another 4 weeks.
That sucks mate, keep your chin up. . . . Must be time to start writing all the Christmas cards and doing the online Xmas shopping

Have to post to say that I've had the exact same experience.

Got to the T, other guy swiped his racket and I swear he'd smashed the ball right into the back of my calf.
Turned round to smash him with my racket ( hopefully, I wouldn't have) only to see him in a back corner and the ball rolling away nowhere near me.

Was extremely sore for weeks. But eventually healed without help from the quack.

Just to say- almost literally- I feel your pain!
