Brad Gilbert: "The moment I saw it, I knew he was done. The rule book is very explicit on this. It's an instant disqualification."Novak only has himself to blame for this. I hope the woman he hit is OK.
Roger and Toni made a little “deal” with the USTACould this save Slam Record for Roger? Magical overacting line judge!
Take a moment to realise what website you've posted this on.Imagine being so obsessed with a professional tennis player that your first instinct seconds after something happens to him you make a thread
You need to consult the tennis rule book. It doesn't matter if it was accidental, the moment a player hits a ball in anger and it hits someone, it's an automatic default.Not a Djoker fan, but total rubbish. He wasn't even looking, didn't take a hard swing. Looked like he was just swatting the ball away.
Official Linesperson Attack ThreadLol rushing to create “official” thread
No, it really didn’t.This just made USO Open 2020 useless, will not watch this tournament no more.
Magical overacting line judge!
Whoever wins the title it will be fair and square.Tennis is not only about the Big3.I will not consider this a genuine slam lol. I don't care who wins. All the big-3 MIA while still playing at high levels. This isn't even worth 0.5 slams. MAYBE 0.25.
I don’t think he should have been defaulted for this at all. He didn’t do it on purpose.
Slam is still a Slam no matter who is participating. History books will record it the same.I will not consider this a genuine slam lol. I don't care who wins. All the big-3 MIA while still playing at high levels. This isn't even worth 0.5 slams. MAYBE 0.25.
Two things can be true:
1. Djokovic did not have intent to harm
2. Djokovic is a hot headed moron who brought this on himself
If it was my call, I would not have DQ'd Nole but we reap what we sow. He let himself and his fans down.
This one might linger in Djoker's mind knowing that he had a shot at #18 with a pretty easy draw going into the SF.Cheer up, Djokovic fans: gives him more time to practice on clay and challenge Rafa in Rome and RG.
Whoever wins the title it will be fair and square.Tennis is not only about the Big3.
I hate USO. The whole situation is ridiculous. You have a 100 years old lineswoman screaming behind. What an awful tournament this USOpen.

I'm not a fan of Djokovic, but this decision is harsh.
Lmaoooooo
I know the rule. I just think the rule is dumb. How does one know if a ball is hit out of anger vs frustration? What's the difference? One you get DQd, the other you don't?You need to consult the tennis rule book. It doesn't matter if it was accidental, the moment a player hits a ball in anger and it hits someone, it's an automatic default.
