Novak Djokovic, arguably one of the best tennis players ever has been defaulted from the US Open after he hit a lines woman with a ball.

Djokovic was almost certainly going to win the tournament with Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal not playing the flushing meadows tournament because of the pandemic.

Djokovic accidentally hit a lines woman in the neck after he hit a ball behind him that hit her after he lost a game in the first set.

After much deliberation, the tournament referee told him to get his gear and go, which he did to the shock of the tennis world. The world No 1 is out!
