Twist the scene US Open: Novak Djokovic has been disqualified of the prestigious American tournament after having extended a linesman at the end of the first set of the round of 16.
The facts. The world number one in the ATP rankings was only one point away from winning the first set against Pablo Carreño Busta (number 25), when the Spaniard, change after change, canceled the Serbian’s set point, winning the game. On the equality situation in the matches (5 to 5), and with Djokovic’s serve, Carreño Busta has sent to crisis the most popular opponent, snatching the game from him and, at the end of an exchange, sending him to the ground in an attempt to respond to a slant and winning forehand. the nervousness de Djokovic, palpable for a few minutes, exploded in an unusual gesture. Turning around, and without looking back, the Serbian released his rage with a lash, hitting full a linesman.
The woman, focused on the throat by the ball, collapsed on the ground. Immediately rescued, she was taken off the court, while Djokovic made sure of her condition. The referees consulted for several minutes near the net, while the Serbian champion tried to explain his reasons. From what he learned, he would have asked the referees a less severe penalty of expulsion. But the judges, considering the gravity of the gesture, responded that they had no other option. Djokovic, incredulous and bitter, grabbed his bag and headed to the locker room. Therefore, you will have to give up, at least for the moment, the use of your own 18th Grand Slam.
