Djokovic accidently hits a line judge in the neck and gets a free ticket out of the US open. Djokovic was the overwhelming favorite when he came to new york in 2019. But on Saturday in the Arthur Ashe Stadium he lost his game to Pablo Carreno Busta. And lost the game at the score being 6-5 in the first set. He got frustrated and hit a tennis ball backwards.The ball went backwards and it hit her in the neck. He saw what happened and had a very regretful face. But he isn't the only one whos accidently hit someone who hit a line judge on the neck.Like in 2017 Denis Shapovalovng a canadian was ready to play his fourth round match he was taken out because he hit the line judge in the face with a tennis ball.
1.Do you think it was fair that Djokovic was taken out?
i think it was the right thing to do because he was fustrated and was unnecessery for what he did.
2.what do you think they should do to people who hit the line judge
i think they should just give them 1 strike and then take them out.

Your forum post is not a hot take but more of what we did last year. I want more of your opinions and not a summary of a story.
As far as your summary is concerned, there were quite a few errors so be sure to spell/grammar check before posting. Also be sure to reply back on three different days.
I believe that it was fair to take him out, as someone else has been taken out in the past for hitting someone with a ball. Even though it was an accident, he still acted out in frustraition and it was unsportsmanlike of him. Regardless of how good you are, you should be treated just the same as someone else and have the same consequenses as them.
I fully believe that it is fair that Novak got taken out of the match he was angry that he lost the previous set so in frustration he hit the ball back and without knowing he hit the line judge. I think that they should give them a warning the first time it happens and if it ever happens again they get taken out of the match.
In my opinion, I think it was only fair to have Djokovic taken out of the tennis match. A key role in any sport is knowing how to show good sportsmanship. He should have known that hitting a ball without paying attention was not a good choice. I also think it is fair to take him out of the match because that is in the rules. I think they should take people out who hit line judges.
I agree like you said the key role in any sport is knowing how to show good sportsmanship. Like if you lose you lose you dont have to get mad because one small thing took him out of the U.S open just for hitting a ball without paying attention. but yea i think i was fair for him to get taken out for hitting a line judge
I do not think it was fair since he had no clue were the ball was going. Although, since he did something sorta unsportsman like I guess I can see why, But I don't watch any tennis let alone sports in general so I do not know the rules or even how to play. This is just my outsider opnion.
Yea I dont watch tennis and i dont know the rules but i still think hitting a ball backwards without knowing where its going to end up could cost you. like the ball went back and hit a line judge in the neck and just that got him out of the us upen but he just has to keep his cool because that took him out of something big
I think it is the right thing to do because it's the rules. I would think the rules say that disqualification is a good penalty of his causes. He hit the line judge without noticing because he was mad. I think they should disqualify him for his actions.
i agree like why did he have to get mad in the first place. if he didnt that would have gone a lot more better he wouldnt be out of the us open but he wanted to hit a ball backwards and hit a line judge. and its unsportsman like to just get mad and hurt someone all because you lose.
