2020 offered us all kinds of amazing things that hadn’t happened in a long time. However, this is exactly what happened minutes ago, after world No. 1 tennis player Novak Djokovic was disqualified in the knockout stages of the US Open, after in his match against Pablo Carenho Busta he inadvertently fired a ball into the face of one of the lateral ball throwers in a moment of rage from a lost point.
This happened after the Serbian fell 6: 5 and 3: 0 behind in favor of the Spanish in the first set. It is worth noting that earlier in the match there was another case of a ball sent in the direction of the three-time champion in New York, but then no one was hit.
Protocol and rules in such cases are inflexible, and if a competitor intentionally or unintentionally injures a tournament official, removal will proceed.
However, this is not a precedent. In 2012, David Nalbandian was disqualified from the Queens Club of London after kicking in a moment of irritation after losing a point in the chair where a lateral judge stood.
The Joker’s temper has been violent for years and he often loses his temper with obscene words or a rocket ship.
Wow. Novak Djokovic has been expelled from #United States Open after hitting a linesman with a ball.
