With the French Open starting at the end of the month, the world number one still has a chance to add to his all-time tally this reduced season – but has Serbia tarnished his reputation?
Seven-time Grand Slam champion John McEnroe, best known for his on-court performances, believes the incident will have an impact.
“I didn’t say he wouldn’t recover,” McEnroe added. “I think he can come back if he accepts the role. He’s chasing history, he’s trying to pass Rafa. [Nadal] And Roger [Federer].
“He’s small, we all know him. He’s getting a lot of things, but it’s obvious he can’t erase, whether he likes it or not.”
Djokovic left Flushing Meadows without speaking to the media, but wrote an apology on his Instagram account, saying he was “very sorry for such stress.”
McKenzie is well aware of how difficult it is to shake up a “bad boy” nomination in technics, and one wonders how much experience Djokovic would make.
“When you think something couldn’t go crazy [in 2020], It happens. “He added.” We talked before the incident that the only way Novak could lose was if he killed himself.
“I didn’t expect this to happen in my wildest dreams. So it’s horrible for everyone, it was a fraudulent mistake.”
Kyrgios started a Twitter poll
Nick Kyrgios, often referred to as the “bad boy” of the current pay generation of tennis, was posting on a Twitter poll asking what his sentence would be in such a situation.
“Swap me for the Jokers [Djokovic’s] Event. ‘Accidentally hitting the ball kid in the cheek,‘ How many years will I be banned? He asked.
At the time of writing, there were five, 10 and 20 year options, with wins by a considerable margin.
“We’re going to bail you out of jail right now,” replied American player Tommy P. Paul Lay.
Former British tennis player Tim Henman, who was similarly disqualified for hitting a ball girl at Wimbledon in 1995, believes Djokovic made the mistake of not appearing in the media after the incident.
“Unfortunately he is making a mistake,” he told the Prime Minister. “He has to face it, apologize and admit that he made a mistake. In short, by running away, he will go further.”
12-time Grand Slam winner Billy Jean King said officials made the right decision.
He tweeted, “First I hope the line judge is okay.” “The rule is the rule. Everyone involved is unlucky, but the default in this particular situation was the correct call.”
Djokovic was unbeaten so far in 2020, setting a record of 26-0 in Sunday’s match against Pablo Careno Busta. Former tennis player Steve Darkis jokingly credited the man who was able to break Djokovic’s winning run – the line judge.
