TAfter his disqualification from the US Open, tennis star Novak Djokovic condemned the hostility against the linesman who was injured by him. “Please keep in mind that the linesman who was hit by the ball last night also needs the support of our community. You did nothing wrong, ”the 33-year-old wrote on Twitter. “I ask you to support her during this time and to be kind to her,” added the Serb.
Following Djokovic’s exclusion from the New York tournament, the disappointment of some of the world’s No. 1 fans had been downloaded onto social media. The linesman was insulted many times.
Djokovic had furiously struck a ball in his round of 16 against Spaniard Pablo Carreño Busta after a missed service game in the first set to make the score 5: 6 and hit a linesman. Djokovic didn’t hit the ball in the direction of the linesman on purpose, but he fell and then had obvious breathing problems.
Due to his unsportsmanlike behavior, Djokovic was not only excluded from the tournament, but must also pay an additional fine of $ 10,000. The American Tennis Association announced that it would lose the prize money it won, which amounts to $ 250,000.
