The world setter took out his frustration at losing a game against the Spaniard Pablo Carreño Busta by blindly hitting a ball that hit a line judge.

Djokovic quickly apologized, but was dishonored for the increase.

Former world setter on the women's side, Tracy Austin, tweeted "Correct decision!

Amazing to see this happen. ”

Former British major player Greg Rusedski thought the Serb could have behaved differently depending on the situation.

"It is inconceivable that Djokovic has been washed.

A regular decision regardless of whether it was meaningful or not.

Novak should have stayed for the press conference and apologized.

We must take responsibility for our actions no matter how difficult the situation is, "he tweeted.

One who has been in the same position as Djokovic is Denis Shapovalov.

In a Davis Cup match in 2017, the now 21-year-old Canadian met a referee after knocking off a ball in frustration.

"It's just super unfortunate for everyone involved," he told Reuters.

- I mean, I've been in that situation so I know exactly how Novak is doing.

It is clear that he did not mean to meet her.

Thank goodness she's okay, it could have ended very, very badly.

The line judge reportedly feels okay after receiving medical attention.
