In an attempt to save the ball, Novak Djokovic hit the ball in the referee’s face. This time, however, it was just an accident from the Serbian player.
Yesterday Novak Djokovic managed an easy 3-0 win over rival Karen Khachanov in the fourth round at Roland Garros. The set scores are 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 respectively.
It is worth mentioning, in this match, the Serbian player had a situation of hitting the ball in the face of the referee. The situation happened in game 8 in the first set. From the opponent’s strong serve, Novak Djokovic stepped up to return. However, the ball went out against the will of the world’s # 1 player and hit the rope referee.
After that, Novak Djokovic went to apologize to the referee. He also insisted that he had no problem and let the game continue. Of course, this was just an unintentional incident by the Serbian player, so he did not have to receive any penalties.
Remember, at the US Open 1 month ago, Novak Djokovic had a situation of venting his anger and hitting the ball on the referee’s neck. As a result, he lost to Carreño Busta and lost the opportunity to win the championship.
It is quite interesting that in the quarter-finals of Roland Garros, Novak Djokovic meets Carreño Busta. In the fourth round, the 17th seed easily outscored opponent Daniel Altmaier 3-0.
Sharing about the situation of accidentally hitting the ball in the referee’s face, Novak Djokovic said: “I am really uncomfortable. I tried to find the referee to see if he was okay. I see you have a small bruise on your face. Anyway, this happened to me and many other players ”.
This is the eleventh time in a row that Novak Djokovic has reached the Roland Garros quarter-finals. The road to the World No. 1 player final is fairly open because Dominic Thiem and Rafael Nadal are on a different bracket.
