Novak Djokovic disqualified from US Open tennis tournament underway in the United States, second round of the Grand Slam. Djokovic was sent off for throwing a ball at a linesman during the match he played against Spain’s Carreño Busta, valid for the round of 16. Immediately afterwards, the referees consulted for about ten minutes to discuss the seriousness and intentionality of the event, then the decision to exclude the world number 1 from the tournament. The woman was hit by the ball in the throat, coughed several times and then recovered and left the Arthur Ashe field of play.
On the score of 5-5 in the first set, the world number one has compromised an incredible lightness. He threw a ball out of bounds, which is not allowed by regulation, hitting a linesman in the face who collapsed to the ground in pain.
The decision was made by the head referee of the US Open, Soeren Friemel. For the Serbian it also means the loss of the unbeaten streak of 2020.
Djokovic on the field had continued his way to the US Open, the second round of the Slam season. The Serbian tennis player had beaten German Jan-Lennard Struff in the third round on the New York hard court of Flusking Meadows with a score of 6-3, 6-3, 6-1. Djokovic’s next opponent in the round of 16 would have been Spanish Pablo Carreño Busta. Alexander Zverev did well too. The 5-seeded German had the best against Frenchman Adrian Mannarino 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-2, 6-2.
