Djokovic gave U.S. Open supervisor no choice, says Obradovic

BELGRADE - Novak Djokovic deserved to be disqualified from the U.S. Open when he hit a line judge with reckless though unintentional ball abuse, Serbia’s former Davis Cup coach Bogdan Obradovic told Reuters on Monday.

The incident happened after Djokovic squandered three set points on his opponent’s serve and then dropped his own, handing the Spaniard the initiative. “He dragged himself into the mud by making a silly mistake in unfortunate circumstances. We are all human and we all vent our frustrations sometimes, but there is no excuse for putting someone in harms’ way, albeit unintentionally.

Obradovic’s peer Radmilo Armenulic, who coached the former Yugoslavia Davis Cup team in the 1980s and 1990s, told Reuters he was shocked with the decision though he acknowledged Djokovic also had himself to blame.

A daft decision

What a stupid rules. So everyone who is line person doesn’t know she/he could be hurt by flying balls? Well to please line persons why not play with cotton balls then?

LineJudgesLivesMatter...let's go 'protest'

He made the right call. He had to dismiss him.

Look at that hypocrite smile on Novak's face! He should've been banned for life from this tournament. Professionals should be able to control their emotions among all circumstances !

Maybe so but if she hadn't made such a 'soccer players meal' of it and just thrown a ball back at him then gone over and given him a hug, the whole thing may have blown over and we would still have Joko (a decent bloke) entertaining all in the US open! Now everybody loses

Nole should be more careful, being Serbian you will always be under the radar.

USOpen had a choice to fire the over reacting line judge & let DjokerNole continue the tournament...! In a boxing ring a referee can get punched & game on, at a tennis courts there are tennis balls...

The woman went over like she’d been shot. Hollywood is calling.

Praying for the lines women, poor lady hurt by cork ball

If this was an accident why the suspension? Appreciate your incite. Help me understand?

Whichovic is it?

Interesting.

Must have felt like a punch to the throat.

Should he have been defaulted? Poll (Please follow, retweet, and like!) click4mypolls VOTE ON MY PINNED TWEET!!!
