A huge underdog is Novak Djokovic. He was disqualified at the US Open after hitting a linesman in the neck. It was a huge topic as it was a strict exclusion from the competition. Moreover, recently Djokovic stated that he sees the future of tennis in modern technology and that tennis could already do without line judges. Moreover, while making his statement, he recalled the incident in New York and made a joke at the expense of it. “If we don’t have linesmen, then I probably won’t repeat what I did,” he allowed himself to be heard. He has now experienced an unpleasant déjà vu since he hit an umpire in the head at Roland Garros in France.“But I’m trying to find the linesman and see if he’s ok, because I saw that he had a bruise, a kind of reddened spot on his head where I hit him,” said the winner of 17 Grand Slam titles. It’s clear to him that this will be a topic for people again. But one can only hope that such situations will be seen as little as possible on the courts. Source: Twitter, Sport.cz
