Don’t persuade you to get mad! Djokovic “the referee’s hand slipping” disqualified at US Open

The Prince of Tennis said: … “2020 is quite bleak due to the epidemic and the absence of superstars.U.SAt the Tennis Open, an astonishing incident broke out on the night of the sixth Serbian men’s singles superstar, currently ranked No. 1 in the world, “Ball King” Djokovic (Novak Djokovic) – in the top 16 for men’s singles During the match, the opponent broke serve due to his displeasure, and the emotional hand slid the ball directly into the throat of a linesman. Although the victim’s line judgment “knocked down” was not injured, Djokovic also repeatedly apologized, noting that he had no intention of attacking the referee when he discovered the accident. However, because this action seriously violated the spirit of the athlete and the express regulations, the place of the trial immediately tried Djokovy. Qi “direct elimination” and an additional “predetermined” penalty by the conference. As for Djokovic, who was upset by the slip of the hand, not only did he suffer other severe damage to the player’s image, but also for a moment of excitement, he missed the historic opportunity to pursue his career as a champion.

Djokovic’s “referee shooting incident” took place in the men’s singles round of 16 on the night of 6 September. Djokovic, the top seed of the conference, faces 20th seed, Spaniard Carreni Ob El challenge from Pablo Carreño Busta. The two sides faced each other for 5 games in the first 40 minutes of a fierce fight, but Djokovic suddenly fell into confusion, not only could he not suppress his opponent, but his key serve was also broken by Karenio Busta. It was reversed 5: 6 and sent the opponent to the end of the game.

Although the ups and downs of the game are the norm in tennis, Djokovic was very upset at his failure. In his emotions, he pulled the spare ball into his pocket and went back to playing without looking at him. Unexpectedly, “The King of the Ball” “As soon as the shot was fired, there was a scream, because Djokovic’s thrilling serve hit the linesman directly behind him in the throat. A

Djokovic, who knew he had caused a catastrophe for the first time, immediately ran to the linesman to worry about the situation and apologized frequently; but the direct hit from the ball king made the victim’s linesman unable to climb in pain for a while. As a result, the game was forced to suspend and the referee hastily called all the referees to go on duty. After discussing the rules for 10 minutes, Djokovic was immediately judged to have “abused tennis” and “seriously violated sportsmanship”. He was judged eliminated, and was declared “disqualified” and punished by the General Assembly for recklessness and damage to the referee’s conduct.

Although Djokovic, who was convicted of disqualification, was extremely frustrated, he dutifully accepted the referee’s judgment, and after paying tribute to his opponent and the referee, he left the 2020 US Open without saying a word. Although Djokovic did not accept interviews with the media after the match, a few hours later he publicly admitted his mistake through his personal Instagram and apologized to everyone.

What happened today makes me very sad and my mind is still blank. Then I reconfirmed the physical condition of the linesman. Fortunately … Thank goodness the conference told me I was fine. I’m really sorry I bothered you so much. I didn’t really mean it … but I really did it wrong, very wrong.

Djokovic said he accepts and obeys the conference disqualification penalty. In addition to repeatedly apologizing to the US Open, fans and coaching staff to his family, he also vowed to calm down and always remember the lessons of this reckless mistake.

But aside from the staggering method of elimination, the US Open disqualification judgment on Djokovic is more than just a game win or loss, including the $ 250,000 accumulated in the tournament’s top 16 prizes, event points, sponsorship, and tournament bonuses. events. At the same time, Djokovic originally hoped to take advantage of the situation. With strong rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal absent from the US Open, he will be able to chase the number of Grand Slam titles in his career. His ambition was temporarily postponed due to the “self-destruction” of this dispute.

Djokovic, who won the Australian Open earlier this year, has a total of 17 championships in his career. Although this achievement is the third person in men’s singles history, the two giants who preceded it are tennis legends from the same era: Nadal, who has 19 career majors, and 20 majors. The first person in history, “Dad” Federer. Therefore, when Federer announced that he would be leaving the 2020 season due to knee surgery and Nadal decided not to participate in the US Open due to the “epidemic factor”, Djokovic originally viewed the 2020 US Open as a divine opportunity. to “hit the record.” … Until it was congested and disqualified.

As for the decision to “disqualify Djokovic”, most international tennis circles think it is reasonable and reasonable, but at best it is regrettable that Djokovic cannot hold his breath for a while. Although on the tennis court, emotional behaviors within a certain range, such as dropped shots and yelling, are all reluctant behaviors, many players will deliberately use “psychological warfare” to reorganize and disrupt the opponent’s game. Pace, but touching the referee’s safety is a violation of the rule of heaven, whether intentionally or not, it must be “disqualified” and there is no room for judgment. TO

Although he won the Australian Open championship earlier in the year, Djokovic, who ignored social security to organize a charity match during the epidemic, contracted the epidemic. Since Djokovic has long been known as the “world’s number one” anti-vaccine “advocate” in sport, he has become the target of condemnation from all parties for ignoring the risks. This time, the “dishonest hand skating” incident also worsened Djokovic’s sporting image.

Although two weeks later, the 2020 French Open will be postponed due to the epidemic. Federer, the first man in history, is still on the mend after surgery and is expected to return to the game at the earliest in early 2021; however, it is rumored that Nadal, the “king of clay” who left the US Open to retain his strength, still has a chance to win. Fighting to defend the title in the face of the epidemic. Therefore, it is reported that Djokovic, whose physical condition after recovery from pneumonia is not as good as expected, does he still have a chance of embarrassment at the French Open? The current atmosphere is not very pleasant for the king of Serbian football.

Although the epidemic and various lace factors have disrupted the volume and pace of the 2020 U.S. Open, after Djokovic’s disqualification, the men’s international tennis arena will also usher in an unexpected new era, because this represents the beauty this year. The tennis championship will disrupt Federer-Nadal-Djokovic’s championship monopoly of the Australian Open ‘Big Three’ in 2017, and the eight male singles players still in the game have yet to win. Slam champion.
