World Number 1, Novak Djokovic was earlier disqualified from the US Open 2020 after he unconsciously hit a ball at the line judge.

The incident happened in the Round-of-16 tie, while trailing 5-6 to opponent and eventual beneficiary, Pablo Carreño Busta.

The 33-year-old top seed headed straight for his car afterwards.

Pablo Busta's reaction:
"I was celebrating the break with my coach," he told reporters.

"When I heard that the line judge was on the floor I was in shock. I never expected this moment when playing Novak.

Carreno Busta added that the incident was "unintentional."

"I think it was bad luck," he said.

The 17- time grand slam champion was hoping to close the gap on absentees, Rafael Nadal (19) and Roger Federer (20) in the race for the all-time men's Singles title record.

Cuomo said: "The only way to kill the virus is science and medicine, and this federal government still doesn't understand this fact." "The real virus we are fighting against is not COVID. We are fighting a virus that is more serious than COVID. You know. Which virus is worse than COVID? A virus of American division and federal incompetence. "This is from the CDC, and this is their own words," Cuomo added. "His own official. Now, maybe this is why the president is trying to take our power from the CDC. I will not be surprised. "

Is this not a witch-hunt?
Yes, I hate Djokovic's guts but I cannot deny that he is great tennis player who knows how to take his chances in Grand Slams and Masters tournaments unlike my personal GOAT Roger Frauderer, but you see the disqualification, prize money fine and point deduction is simply a witch-hunt.

Maybe it is related to Djokovic leaving ATP to form their own group they call Professional Tennis Players Association. The organization is not happy with him.
If it was my GOAT Frauderer, I'm sure he would be punished, but it would probably be something like retaking the serve grin or losing the point in the game.

Djokovic is a victim of witch-hunt.
This wont stop him from overtaking Frauderer to have the most GS

It wasn't deliberate but the rule on such is very clear. Djoko had gotten away with misbehavior like this in the past and it's proper he was punished this time.

It was unintentional but the outcome cannot be separated from the unprofessional act. It is a clear rule that if any staff of the event is harmed by act of omission or commission of the player, it is automatic disqualification.

I prefer Rafa Nadal, but not happy with his disqualification. He's great at tennis and would prefer if he lost because the other player was good not because he retired.

The issue is that he intentionally played the ball with negligence.... without care for who or what it hits...

They know he didn't mean to hit the lines judge

When the gods are angry with you, they make you misbehave in the public and playback the video to you in private. Ask FFK or Erica.

He should have been pardoned honestly. That was absolutely unintentional. The least their organisation should have done was for him to compensate the lady and make a public apology been accidental. And normally this is how djokovic reacts when he is having a bad game. Its just unfortunate. One of my best players and a very jovial athlete.
