Everything developed in the usual channel in the Djokovics – Carreño-Busta match, as the matches were played, each one brought their own service game, the match did not even bring a break until 4: 3. Then Djokovic would have had the opportunity to take the Spanish servant in position 27 of the world ranking, but he did not get it.
As he was also unsuccessful in Carreño-Busta’s next serve, his 5: 4 lead, although he could have tried three times by then, and all three were game balls at the same time, but the Spaniard was able to block them all and bring his serve. .
These three missed balls presumably upset Djokovics, who led the world rankings, so much that he couldn’t properly focus on his own serve, and Carreño-Busta scored three break balls in a matter of seconds, seizing the second. At the time, the presumably nervous Djokovics struck the ball in anger, neither too hard nor intentionally, but to his dismay, he still found one of the linesmen at his throat.
How involuntary it was shows that Djokovics immediately ran to the aid of the paid lady, followed by a long minute of deliberation between the judges, at the end of which Djokovics shook his opponent’s hand, which meant he was disqualified from the race.
