2020 US Open General Discussion (ATP)

[a10best]

Novak the meanie. Automatic loss of serve game or default.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

wow

 

[mike danny]

Well based on his face it was obviously accidental.

I thiught the lines woman had breathing problems, not that Novak hit here. He's gotta be careful in situations like these.

 

[WildRevolver]

Omg, did he hit a ball into her neck?

 

[MeatTornado]

This probably isn't even a discussion if it's not a marquee player like Djokovic.

4th round on an outside court this would an auto-default.

 

[TripleATeam]

This is a DQ, huh? Dammit.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

I hope that left shoulder isn't damaging his BH.

If Djokovic is to lose, not like this.

That's how old age losses look like.

The last time Federer was physically alright at a hardcourt slam he lost was AO '16
(wasn't injured at USO 18 but serious heat damage there, looked so damn cooked)

 

[Sudacafan]

Good bye Novak lol. Instant DQ incoming.

If rules are blindly applied, yes. But it’s grossly unfair.

 

[malbaker86]

Wow

 

[Nostradamus]

If Novak isnt' DQED,, there will be an Uproar............in sports world .. Preferential treatment for Top guys................. You can't do that

 

[weakera]

He does not deserve a dq. He did not want to hurt anyone, even if it was careless. He needs to get a warning at MOST.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Channeling his inner Shapo now

 

[mike danny]

This has to be the end. It's the same as Shapovalov in Davis Cup.

Not even close from ehat I have seen.

She was just little girl...

 

[TheNachoMan]

Djokovic‘s first loss of 2020 is to....himself?

 

[irishnadalfan1983]

He did this earlier in the week and caught someone in the crowd...

 

[Poisoned Slice]

 

[DismalFuture]

He didn't even hit the ball that hard, not comparable with a Shapovalov type of incident.

 

[davced1]

Djokovic should be defaulted really he is not above the rules.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

My goodness.

 

[GabeT]

Djokovic‘s first loss of 2020 is to....himself?

No one else can beat him

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

I didn’t realise Novak hit the lines woman. What a crazy turn of events.

 

[merwy]

It should be a DQ. If Fed did this I would say the same

 

[HetTheGreaterer]

Not even close from ehat I have seen.

SOMEONE TELL ME HOW DO I FIX MY STREAM
F**KING ANNOYING

 

[Bud]

OMG...did he really hit the lineswoman?

Right in the throat

 

[FRV3]

It didn't even look like he hit it that hard though

Brad is right........... That is the Exactly the rules

 

[TTMR]

Where's the old tall clueless looking tournament referee the US Open had for years? That guy was the best.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Disqualification time.

 

[pepka]

Nothing will happen...

 

[wang07]

What is the discussion about? It obviously wasn't intentional, but the rules are clear, Novak should be DQ'd now.

 

[TripleATeam]

He does not deserve a dq. He did not want to hurt anyone, even if it was careless. He needs to get a warning at MOST.

Neither did anyone else who did it. DQ is the precedent, so he's got to be defaulted, right?

 

[HetTheGreaterer]

Het's illicit streaming catching up to him. His system bogged down with viruses now

Gimme a fix instead of making my meme..

 

[weakera]

It should be a DQ. If Fed did this I would say the same

No chance. Intent matters. How soft is this sport? A DQ!?

 

[NoleFam]

Right in the throat

Horrible. Sorry to see this happen.

 

[James P]

Djokovic‘s first loss of 2020 is to....himself?

Oof, forgot about that...

 

[MeatTornado]

I feel kinda bad for Novak because it was obviously unintentional. But that's part of why the rules exist, you can't be smacking balls without looking because something like this could happen to a linesman or a crowd member.

 

[Sudacafan]

Edberg killed a linesman unintentionally in 1983 in the Junior circuit, and there was no sanction.
They should strip them from the Junior Grand Slam.

 

[junior74]

Djokovic‘s first loss of 2020 is to....himself?

Hitting the lines is one thing. Hitting the lines person is something else.

 

[Breakpointerer]

God this is crazy

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Gimme a fix instead of making my meme..

If WatchESPN works where you are I'd give you my login

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

This is a DQ, huh? Dammit.

Do you think it should be?

Seems harsh if the person isn't hit hard, but that's what the rules suggest?

Lol I'm torn.

 

[WildRevolver]

What was he doing? He almost hit the camera guy three points earlier.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Just about to leave the precinct

Why didn't he smack it into the stands instead? There is no one there.

 

[Nostradamus]

It shows you how things can change in the blink of a eye. You never know in sport.

just dumb bad luck........... but that is the rule,, when you hit the ball in anger,,, you may hit someone,,,,, There are tons of people around the court,,,, this isn't a park tennis court with you and your opponent.........WOW

 

[malbaker86]

It didn't even look like he hit it that hard though

Thats what im saying lol

 

[Red Rick]

Absolute Karen.

 

[fundrazer]

Watch the uproar from serena fans if he's not defaulted.

Threatens to shove ball down lineswomans throat
Vs
Hit lines woman with tennis ball in the throat
