Novak Djokovic shoots out of the US Open!
The world No. 1 shoots a frustrated ball behind him in the round of 16 against Pablo Carreño Busta (ESP / 20) at a score of 5: 6 in the first set and hits a linesman right in the neck. The woman falls and needs a short treatment.
The main Serbian seed apologizes, but the rules are clear: he will be disqualified immediately.
Dominic Thiem’s toughest competitor, number two behind Djokovic according to the seeded list, is out of the tournament.

No alternative to disqualification
Djokovic runs towards the woman, but everything seems to be fine again soon. The frightened Serb apologizes, the situation is clearly uncomfortable for him.
Of course, the umpires still meet on the field and make the judgment you hear multiple times that you have no other choice. Djokovic argued, albeit very calmly, for a long time. But he does not question the disqualification, you can clearly hear him say that he accepts every decision.
According to the regulations, such offense will result in exclusion. Djokovic had already fired a ball wildly in the direction of the gang, but nothing had happened.
Carreño-Busta goes to the round of the last eight. The Spaniard will face the winner of Denis Shapovalov (CAN / 12) against David Goffin (BEL / 7) in the quarterfinals.
At the bottom of the grid, Thiem will face young Canadian star Felix Auger-Aliassime on Monday (local time) to reach the quarter-finals. Therefore, it is certain that there will be a first winner at the “Bubble Open”.
Easy zverev on
Alexander Zverev has no problem in his first US Open quarterfinals.
The German, placed at number five, does a short job to Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and only gives five games in three sets. Win 6: 2, 6: 2, 6: 1.
Zverev meets Borna Coric against the winner’s Jordan Thompson.
