World leader Novak Djokovic is likely to lose all prize money and qualifying points as he reached the knockout stages of the US Open after being disqualified for unsportsmanlike conduct last night.
The Serbian tennis player hit one of the referees along the line in the throat after hitting a ball in his anger after losing a point in the match against Pablo Karenya Busta. He immediately went to see what had happened, but the rules were clear: disqualification. A little later, the organizers of the US Open released an official position on the case.
“According to the rules of Grand Slam tournaments, a player is disqualified after an intentional or accidental but dangerous hit to the ball on the court, which causes damage,” the organizers said in a statement.
Therefore, Djokovic will not take points or money from the prize fund, and will also be fined. He will also be fined for failing to appear at the press conference after the match was stopped.
Novak Djokovic has been defaulted at the 2020 US Open.
Lesson:
-Keeping calm is very important even if you are already at the top-You never took your disappointment to turn into anger
-Just a second of reaction has the power to change your life for better or for worse.
