- World number one Novak Djokovic unexpectedly withdrew from the US Open.
- During Sunday’s fourth-round game, he was sent off for throwing a ball at the jazz line.
- His opponent, Kareno Basta, looked on in awe after the Joker’s decision to oust him was announced.
Despite scoring three set points during the match against Spaniard Pablo Carreño Bastar, he was disappointed that he couldn’t handle the first set. He had to fall behind 5-6 in the first set as he failed to get the 0-40 point set. Then, out of frustration and annoyance, he threw a ball to the female jazz line behind the court. The ball hit the woman’s neck. He fell to the ground in pain. The Joker immediately panicked and ran towards him. He apologized to her.
After the incident, Arthur Ashe entered the stadium and spoke with Chair Umpire Aurelie Torte and Grand Slam Supervisor Andre Egley. After lengthy negotiations, it was decided to disqualify the three-time US Open winner, 33-year-old Joker.
