This means that on the men’s side of the US Open, there are no Grand Slam winners left in the tournament and Djokovic was a huge favorite to win the American tournament again this year.
The last Slam without at least one of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Djokovic in the semifinals was at Roland Garros in 2004.
Federer is injured and Nadal did not want to compete amid safety concerns related to the coronavirus pandemic.
Then Djokovic became frustrated and fired a ball behind which he hit the line at the throat.
