US Open: hammer penalty for Djokovic
Hit a linesman with the ball, now the penalty hits him! Novak Djokovic must pay a fine of US $ 10 (about 8,400 euros). And you lose your prize money of US $ 250,000 (approx. € 211,000). In his last 16-game US Open match against Pablo Carreño-Busta, the world number one, known for his frenzy, had angrily fired a ball after a lost service game. Djokovic encountered a linesman in the larynx. The Serbian was later excluded from the Grand Slam tournament. The next negative climax of the completely bizarre tournament in New York.
Unworthy end for the tennis star
Djokovic hadn’t used three set balls when the score was 5: 4, 40: 0 against Spaniard Pablo Carreño Busta, then lost serve for the first time at 5: 6. The Australian Open winner spent minutes arguing online with the referee “I accept every decision,” said Djokovic, who was visibly shocked after his involuntary action. But that didn’t change his unworthy ending, he was disqualified under the rules.
Former coach Boris Becker: “Unbelievably bitter”
After all the confusion as a result of a positive Corona case with Frenchman Benoit Paire, the US Open now also has a very big scandal. “That is, of course, incredibly bitter. He was disqualified for a big mistake,” tennis legend Boris Becker told Eurosport. Becker was Djokovic’s coach for three years in the past.
Kyrgios provokes Djokovic
Tennis bully Nick Kyrgios from Australia lived up to his reputation and also commented on Djokovic’s misstep: “Put me in the Joker’s shoes. How many years would I be banned if I accidentally hit the ball on the boy’s neck? the ball? “asked the 25-year-old scornfully. Message from the provocative statement: Just because it is number one in the world, organizers shouldn’t measure in two ways.
Djokovic draws a lesson from iniquity
Djokovic himself was subdued after the incident. “The whole situation left me really sad and empty,” the 17-time Grand Slam winner wrote on Instagram and again apologized for his misstep, both to the linesman who was beaten and to the organizers of the US Open. The 33-year-old now wants to learn from his mistakes and “teach a lesson for my growth and development” from the indescribable situation.
