In the first round of the 2011 U.S. Open tennis tournament Monday, Santiago Giraldo knew he was going to have to be at the top of his game to have any chance against third-seeded Roger Federer. However, when Giraldo hit an errant shot that broke the umpire's microphone to start off the second set, he had to know that it just wasn't meant to be.
The crowd and the players got a good laugh from his unlucky shot.
Needless to say, Giraldo lost the match in straight sets.
