Novak Djokovic accidentally hit a line judge with a tennis ball in a fit of frustration at the US Open. The mistake cost him $267,500.

The No. 1 seed Djokovic was booted from the Open and fined for unsportsmanlike conduct, forfeiting $267,500 in the process. After going down 6-5 in the first set of his match against Carreno Busta, Djokovic hit a ball behind him without looking, striking tennis official Laura Clark in the throat. Clark yelped and fell to the ground and Djokovic, surprised, came to her aid.

I can't believe this stuff is allowed for people to get away with.That woman needs to be fined for delay of game & faking an Injury to BlackMail a Star.That was straight perjury but this is the society we live in now which allows stuff like this to happen resulting in termination

He is undoubtedly an idiot but do they really need all these judges around the court during a pandemic?

They should ban him from all tennis matches. His attitue is all wrong.

Djokovic gets all the blame. He should learn how to better control his anger.

😭😂 wow

What a load of Horse****. Watch the video. No way he should pay a fine or be ejected.

The lady was overacting. Fell on the ground as if the ball was served to her throat.

It’s not accidentally if you were having a tantrum.

Accident. Mistake. Error. Slip. Blunder. Not worthy of a $5 fine. People make mistakes and that mistake is so disproportionate to its punishment, it's a joke.

Djokovic is rich enough to settle the fine to that tune but it was an accident.

Oh No. It is too much, I thought to ban him was enough

Thats why they shouldnt hire woman in men matches . Like if it was a man he robbe it out or they replace him .
