US Open memories comeback to Djokovic

This wasn’t the first instance where Nole’s anger translated into his actions.

Back the US Open in September 2020, Djokovic hit the lines judge on her neck when he hit her with the ball. He seemed frustrated during his round of 16 match, and he was disqualified for his misconduct in the first set itself. Surprisingly, he had a notable opponent in that match; it was Pablo was standing at the other end of the court.

He was not spared for his actions though, even though today he got a warning. Post his racquet throwing incident, he received a warning for breaking his racquet in anger.

In the end, Djokovic lost to Pablo in a thrilling 2 hour 50 minute battle. He lost 4-6, 7-6, 3-6 against the Spaniard, who played brilliant tennis in order to clinch the medal.
