A poignant day in Serbian Maestro Djokovic’s thriving career as he got disqualified from the US Open 2020 for accidentally hitting a lineswoman with a ball on her throat. Leading to the same Novak Djokovic was frustrated and left the Flushing Meadows premises without attending the official press conference.

For boycotting the tournament’s press conference Djokovic is expected to be fined US $20,000. Pressers are a crucial part of an athlete’s game and they are expected to be present and interact with the reporters as much as they show their presence on the court.

World Number one Djokovic hasn’t apologized for hitting the linesperson instead he argued and insisted it was nothing serious, and she wouldn’t have to go to the hospital for the same.

Also, Prime Video captured Djokovic’s car that was leaving the US Open bubble. Former British tennis player Tim Henman mentioned Novak Djokovic is aggravating the damage by displaying such behavior.

“Unfortunately he’s compounding the error. He needs to face up to it, apologize and accept he made a mistake. By, in essence, running away, it’s going to go on longer,” Tim Henman said.

Former tennis player Greg Rusedski also reflected on the same. “I’m a little bit disappointed. You’ve got to remember this man is the world No. 1. Yes it’s a very difficult situation being defaulted at a major championship but he should have just taken an hour, two hours in his suite, reflected on what happened, gone into press, take responsibility, and apologize for the situation. It is a difficult situation but when you are the world No. 1 in the world, you have to do the right thing,” he said.
