Around the world continue to engage extensively exceptional incidents recorded during the US Championships, when ranked first in the world, Novak Dg'okobitz, hit a ball down her throat, one of the judges of the line and was expelled from the tournament.



The tennis Slovakian Daniela Hantuchová, considered a close friend of Nola, spoke about the case from the perspective : "Sometimes it feels like Novak is a little out of control.

He is very close to me and I care about him, I respect everything he does on the tennis court, but very much hope that what happened will be a lesson for him and that he will learn a lesson from it.

In the vast majority of cases, his intentions are good, his timing is simply not as successful as in the show tournament he organized in Serbia during the Corona crisis.



"" The last six months have been shocking for him, "said former player Andy Roddick." Novak is the villain of the tennis world. He's the bad guy, probably when everyone's so in love with Raphael Nadal and Roger Federer.

Nola is the guy who conquered Bambi right inside.

His behavior bothered me greatly, especially after the incident.

What happened did not seem to bother him too much;

He was not even interested in the safety of the injured judge and did not appear at the press conference afterwards. "

"We were all in the market by chance," admitted Alexander Zebrav, who qualified for the semifinals of the tournament.

"There is no doubt that this is an exceptional event. It is clear that we, the young guys here, see this as an opportunity to get far in the tournament."



"For me, this move by Novak was like breaking up with a partner via email," past legend Martina Navratilova noted.

"Okay, Novak made a mistake, it could happen, but after the incident he just ran away instead of thinking about everything that happened. He was afraid, he did not have the courage to appear at the press conference, in front of the media, admit the mistake and apologize. Obviously he is sorry for what he did "But he had to say it out loud to reporters."



"Novak Djokovic is the biggest donkey in professional sports," concluded daily journalist Merleau Stern of The Daily Beast.

A few days ago, a number of media outlets around the world reported that the same line judge who was harmed by the Serb was receiving threats on her life from his fans.

"Thank you all for the reinforcement messages," Djokovic wrote on social media following this, so that they would stop attacking her.

"Please also think of the referee who was hit by the ball. She did nothing wrong and she also needs your support. I ask you to respect her, especially during this period. From here we will be strengthened and grown, and overcome any obstacle. Love, Novak."

This dramatic and unprecedented moment happened towards the end of the first set in the quarter-final against Spaniard Pablo Carnio Busta, after the world-ranked Serb hit a ball that hit the line judge's throat.

The tournament itself issued a statement according to which Djokovic will lose all the ranking points he has accumulated in the tournament, will be deprived of any monetary prize that he was supposed to earn from the very promotion to the quarterfinals and may be fined further.

In addition, the Serb left the compound without attending a press conference, which is expected to cost him a few thousand dollars more.



Djokovic is the fifth tennis player in history to be eliminated from the Open Age Grand Slam tournament.

He was preceded by John McEnroe at the 1990 Australian Championships, Carsten Arins at the 1995 Roland Garros, Jeff Tarango at the 1995 Wimbledon and Stefan Kovak at the Roland Garros 2000.



A few hours after the incident, the Serb commented on his Instagram account: “This whole incident left me sad and drained. "I checked the line judge and she said she was fine, thank God. I'm so sorry I caused this mess. That was not my intention. As for disqualification, I have to work on my disappointment and make it my growth as a person and as a player. I apologize to the tournament people for my behavior."
