Novak Djokovic is disqualified.

[direktor_vozduha]

I don't think I should have been disqualified. It was an accident, and he immediately apologized. imho

 

[terryk]

He's the best tennis player in the world,who can hit a ball within inches at a 100mph,,,he knew exactly where he was hitting the ball,why he targeted this woman,who knows? He got what he deserved,and i hope she sues him for millions,,, What a jerk! (Jerkovic? lol)

 

[Zorba]

Apparently there is a rule forbidding this, the punishment is disqualification. Why should the rule not be enforced in this instance?

Exactly, rules are rules, tennis brats deserve to be disqualified, no matter which overprivileged one it is.

I have to disagree with you on two points. I don't think Novak Djokovic is the greatest tennis player in the world. While he is currently ranked number one, I believe that Roger Federer is the GOAT. Also I don't think he "targeted" that linesperson or "knew exactly where he was hitting the ball". I don't believe that he was paying any attention to where he was hitting the ball, which is evident by the way he reacted when he did realize where the ball had gone.

Should he have whacked the ball toward the back of the court? Players often knock balls towards the ball boys and girls on the court at the end of service games, but they usually don't whack them with that amount of force. But even though he did whack that ball harder than he should have, I don't think he whacked it any where near hard enough to injure anyone.

Even more reason to disqualify him, recklessly hitting the ball, and as a consequence of that, he hit someone with the ball.

 

[gallora]

Yes, he got what he should have received according to the rules. We can only discuss his stupidity and intemperance. Let's see how he plays in Paris.:icon_rend

 

[VictorOd]

I've seen that episode. Nothing criminal as for me, an accident. If it's according to the rules, I agree with DQ, but rules are a bit too strict then.

My point was that, even if he had no intention of hitting the linesperson, his actions were completely inappropriate Even if he didn't hit that ball all that hard, he had no business hitting it as hard as he did. I think recklessly is the perfect way to describe it. It was a clear violation of the rules. For it to have hit anyone else on the court made it a violation worthy of disqualification. But to say that he purposely targeted the linesperson is a much more serious accusation. And if it were true it would warrant a much more serious punishment. But I don't think that was the case.

Probably much better since there he should last a little longer than in USA lol

The punishment is quite adequate, any indirect consequences are possible from hitting a person with a ball. The rules allow the federation and competition organizers to prevent such actions by players.

Let's see, taking into account what happened at the US Open, it will be interesting to watch his behavior.

I believe he lives in Monaco so French Open must be like home tournament for him so guess he has been practicing keeping emotions under control (or not) ...

But for a very long time, none of the French won Roland Garos.

 

[IntenseHeat]

Rafa is going to own the French!

 

[christmasscorpion]

were they live matchs and the people who put money on winning after the disqualification of Novak Djokovic lost them?.Was it a match-fixing game?
I haven't watched this sporting event but I'm interested in learning more about it

 

[Clean]

He hit the line judge with the ball. It wasn't during the draw. Could such an accident be worthy of such punishment?

Can we talk about this here?

A negotiated game? I do not think so. A very confusing option to get the desired result.
As for the rates and how everything was decided there, I don't know.

 

[gallora]

Of course we can. This is what we do.
We cannot play as well as they do, but we can discuss them. They get paid for it.

 

[antonis32123]

Sh** like this can happen unfortunatelly . I cannot swear this was unintentional as much as I cannot swear she was not overreacting after the hit , not saying she wasn't in pain or not hurting at all , strange situation ... let's forget it and move on ...

 

[TeUnit]

I am sure he didnt mean to hurt anyone, but he is reckless way too often. He needs to understand he is responsible for where he hits the ball.

 

[gallora]

Do you think such emotional breakdowns can be associated with the absence of spectators on the courts?

 

[IntenseHeat]

I'm sure he does now. The U.S. Open without Federer or Nadal to compete with. He had to be the overwhelming favorite and he basically ends up knocking himself out. Oh yeah! I think he probably learned his lesson.

The RG will show what conclusions he made and how this incident will affect him.

 

[nellorossi83]

It was a acident. But there are rules and he was correctly disqualified

 

[antonis32123]

Regardless of the force of the blow and the actions of the referee, the player is punished by disqualification. This is written in the rules and there is nothing about the force of the blow. There are two points, unintentional and intentional action. The second punishment is much stricter, up to a year's disqualification.

a year's disqualification. ?????? omg.... His career might had been destroyed , probably , Then fine by me , it's all good , the fine is good , the disqialification from the tournament , I mean , the penalty could be far worse , a lot far worse than this ..couldn be ??? Right????:stoned:
