Today, I was playing tennis with my friend. He hit a ball up high, and I slammed it down, thinking there was no way he would get it. Feeling pretty good about it, I turned around to celebrate. As I turned around, I got smacked in my face. He got it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was playing tetherball with my younger brother. I get really competitive, so I threw it as hard as I could. It came around and hit me in the face. FML
Today, I was at a professional tennis match. The ball was hit extremely hard, resulting in it going into the crowd. And when I say crowd, I mean my face. FML
Today, I had a dream in which I was playing tennis. As I hit a powerful serve, I suddenly woke up due to having slapped myself in the face. FML
Today, I was walking around in a park when I passed some kids playing soccer. One of them kicked the ball as hard as he could at me. Luckily, I caught the ball, then I drop-kicked it, intending to say, "Go get it." Instead, it bounced off a nearby tree and hit me in the face. FML
Today, I was sitting on a fence watching a friend play soccer. He accidentally kicked the ball at my face and made me fall off the fence into mud. I laughed it off and got back on the fence. Two seconds later he did the same exact thing. I fell wrong and slammed my face into the fence. Pain. FML
Today, I was playing one on one soccer with a girl like. I accidentally kicked the ball right into her face. The ball rolled back towards me and as I was running to see if she was ok, I kicked the ball… right into her face again. FML
Today, I had a soccer game. A player from the other team hit me in the face. In the next half, she was the goalie and I was determined to score on her. When I finally got my chance to, everyone cheered, until I kicked the ball into the goal post and it bounced back and hit me in the face. FML
Today, I tried to high-five someone but somehow ended up slapping them in the face. FML
Today, I met my girlfriend's dad at a tennis game. I could tell he despised me from the start, but it only got worse when I played him. He smashed the ball at me and I went to hit it, but I missed and fell over, tearing my arm up on the gravel. He had a smirk on his face for the rest of the day. FML
Today, I got dragged into playing doubles tennis. It was me and my wife against her parents. I wound up hitting the ball too hard. My mother-in-law, who has the reaction times of a comatose turtle, got nailed. Everyone's convinced I did it on purpose because of our mutual hatred of each other. FML

If the guy turned around to celebrate, how did the ball hit his face? Unless of course he has a face on the back of his head...

Obviously the OP is not a real tennis player. He doesn't use the right terminology. He should have said that his friend hit a lob and he hit an overhead (or smash). The only way this could be feasible is if he hit the ball nearly straight down and gave it a high bounce, in which case his friend would have time to return it and he should have held off on the celebration. YDI for not putting away an easy overhead.

tennis is a game for posh people. play 10 minutes, sit down 10 minutes. Rain? they don't play, their hair could get wet. YDI

I've played tennis for about three hours straight. No breaks. Stfu you idiot. And the only reason we can't play in the rain is because the balls soak up the water and get ruined. @OP: You're stupid, returning an overhead is one of the easiest shots. Unless you hit it further towards the baseline and they were playing volley, but even then it's not so hard. And I've played matches where the person turned around before the point was over, they got hit. My point. Their fault. UNLESS they got hit before even moving, then it's theirs, but I still think that rule is ridiculous since they should have seen it coming. Regardless, in this situation: early celebration = you deserved it.

If you think tennis is a "posh" sport, then you've obviously never played it. Sprinting around after a fast-flying ball trying to hit it just right to the other side and sweating profusely? Yeah, that's REAL posh.... Thanks #24, you're right! OP-Don't celebrate until the play is over! That goes for ALL sports! Soooo YDI for celebrating prematurely.

A badminton shuttle goes faster than a tennis ball, just that you know. and it is not allowed to bounce on the floor

so he managed to arc the ball around the back of your head and hit you in the face? because walking away implies your back was to him. also getting a tennis ball smashed into your face might break something.

how is this a FML this is one of those things you just laugh about for a minute, and then get back to the game. YDI. p.s. please, can someone get the creators of this site to make a "not a fml " option, besides the YDI and FYL options next to the OP's FML??????? im getting sick of having to click YDI when quite frankly, the OP only deserves 'not a fml'
