Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic was disqualified from the US Open this Sunday for throwing a ball against a linesman, during the round of 16 match against Spanish Pablo Carreño.
After losing his serve to Carreño, who gave the Spaniard a 6-5 lead in the first set, Djokovic pulled a ball out of his pocket and threw it towards the wall, hitting a lineswoman on the neck, who fell to the ground with a cry of pain.

Seeing that he had beaten her, Djokovic quickly went to see the condition of the judge, who had to receive medical attention.
Djokovic spoke with the game officials for several minutes, in which he asked them to apply some type of sanction other than disqualification, but finally the officials applied the rules and Carreño advanced to the quarterfinals of the Grand Slam in New York.
