It took so long for him to seemingly accept the referee's decision. More bad press for Djokovic...shame!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

When was the last time anyone other than Djokovic, Federer, Nadal, Murray or Wawrinka won a slam?

On watching it back it doesn't look as bad as it was being described. I think he's been a bit unfortunate to be honest.

Djokovic has got away with that before. He chucked his racket in frustration at the French Open a few years back and missed a line judge by inches. He wasn't so lucky this time.
He knows the rules, accidental or not it's a disqualification.

Best one I recall was Shapovalov hitting the umpire. That was a straight red.

He didn't seem to whack the ball with much anger and just did what many players do at the end of a game and just took a ball out of his pocket and hit it to the back of the court in preparation for the next game.
I think he's been unlucky due to him not really being out of control like Shapovalov was for example.

Whether he meant it or not the players really should know better.
That line judge was audibly struggling so hope she's OK.
Wouldn't be surprised to see a further ban.
I see Kyrgios is stirring it already

Djokovic getting it tight for not holding a press conference afterwards and instead just leaving the whole site and presumably heading back to his hotel.

He was definitely fortunate that it didn't hit the line judge as that definitely would have merited a disqualification, even more so than last night's incident.

You would be lucky if it was half that speed. Still enough to get a fright when you're not expecting it though.

Fair enough, it seems you can all judge the speed of a tennis ball better than I can
But speaking as someone who has taken a squash ball in the eye at probably about 5mph, I can tell you that it ****ing hurt. OK, so we're not comparing apples with apples, but I think it's pretty harsh to vilify the line judge for reacting in the way she did. Some of the comments on here are a tad out of order IMO.

I trust you're not including me there. I merely wondered out loud that her reaction might have been a bit ... em ... contrived. Just a thought.
