Dr. Phil McGraw, 62, has been dishing out tough love on television for over a decade, and now it appears he’s been on the receiving end of an overhand tennis smash. During a recent interview, McGraw sported a fresh black eye.

The incident occurred at his Beverly Hills, Calif., home during a doubles match. Despite the injury, McGraw finished the game. McGraw also taped his interview the following day without any trouble, using heavy makeup to conceal his injury, reported Entertainment Tonight.

While discussing the black eye, Dr. Phil was put on the spot to talk about an upcoming episode in which he goes one on one with Anna Gristina, better known as the New York Soccer Mom Madam. The brothel runner has claimed that she will be revealing names of some of her high-level clients while chatting to Dr. Phil. While this will be Gristina's second visit to the show, McGraw remained tight-lipped as to what can be expected this time around.
