Novak Djokovic (33, Serbia), number one in the men's tennis world rankings, was disqualified after causing a'non- manners controversy'.



It happened in the 2020 US Open Men's Singles Round of 16 held at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York, USA, yesterday (6th local time).



Djokovic was playing against Pablo Carreno Busta (27th place, Spain), who had won all three matches earlier.



Djokovic, who had a game score of 5-4 in the first set, had a chance to set points in the sub game.

But here we are in danger of giving the initiative by giving points five times in a row.



As if the game didn't work out as intended, Djokovic unintentionally took the ball out of his pocket and struck it out of the set as it was, and the ball hit the neck of the lineman standing outside.



A dizzying moment that almost led to a big accident.

Let's see the situation at that time in a video.
