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 was defeated 6: 5 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.
🗣️ “Novak Djokovic was absolutely out of commission. It was an accident waiting to happen.”

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.
