Novak Djokovic of Serbia handles a touch pass trial at the USTA National Tennis Center Billie Jean King.
Novak Djokovic was dramatically disqualified from the U.S. Open on Sunday after hitting a women’s line to make a trial with a ball of frustration in his last attack of 16, sending shockwaves to the tournament.
The world number one hit the ball with disgust after wasting his serve to spend 6-5 in the first set against Pablo Carreno Busta, a Spaniard, at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Djokovic gave the impression of deflecting his gaze when he pulled the ball out of his pocket and punched him in the direction of the referee, hitting him in the most sensitive part of his throat.
The officer screamed and began to run out of air when he collapsed on the ground.
Djokovic hurried to see if he was okay and placed his hand on his back as she struggled to breathe.After a few minutes, she gave up and left the box hunting dizzy.
A ten-minute discussion followed between Djokovic and the tournament referee, which the world number one defended his case.
The referee then stated that Carreno Busta had won by default.Djokovic shook his opponent’s hand before leaving the court, looking like shaking the referee’s hand.
He then went straight to his car and drove out of Flushing Meadows in New York without speaking to reporters.
Carreno Busta said he had noticed the incident.
“I’m celebrating the breakup with my coach,” he told reporters.
“When I heard the line make a judgment on the floor, I was in shock.I wasn’t expecting you at the time I was betting on Novak.
Carreño Busta added that the incident “was not intentional.”
“I think it’s unlucky, ” he said.
The Serbian star is one of the few players to have been disqualified from a men’s singles Grand Slam tournament since John McEnroe was unfortunately excluded from the Australian Open in 1990.
