Novak Djokovic Ejected From U.S. Open After Hitting Judge With A Ball

Things took a strange turn at the U.S. Open this weekend. In perhaps the strangest turn of events, the number-one ranked male tennis player and tennis legend Novak Djokovic was abruptly disqualified from his match against Pablo Carreno Busta. 

After missing the opportunity at three set points in the first, a frustrated Djokovic hit a ball back to a ball boy that accidentally hit a line judge in the throat. This was an embarrassing moment for Djokovic but also incredibly costly since he was immediately disqualified from the tournament where he was the favorite. In the world of COVID, it is hard to imagine that things can get much weirder, but the events from the past few days show that the U.S. Open is trying its best to be the world’s weirdest sporting event.
