ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Novak Djokovic disqualified from US Open after hitting line judge in throat with ball | ABC News” – below is their description.
World number one Novak Djokovic has lost his fourth round match at the US Open in dramatic circumstances after he was defaulted for hitting a ball in anger that struck a female line judge in the throat. Djokovic had just had his serve broken by Pablo Carreno Busta to trail 5-6 in the first set. As he walked to the sideline at the change of ends, in frustration he hit the ball behind him without looking — the line judge dropped to her knees at the back of the court, holding her neck. After checking on the line judge and immediately apologising, the 17-time major title winner stood at the net for several minutes discussing the incident with officials including tournament referee Soeren Friemel, before going to Carreno Busta and shaking hands, then grabbing his bags and walking off court. #NovakDjokovic #NovakDjokovicDisqualified
