Novak Djokovic disqualified from US Open

World No 1 Novak Djokovic has been disqualified from the US Open after accidentally hitting a lineswoman with a ball.

He had just been broken by Spanish Pablo Carreno Busta in the Round of 16 to trail 5-6, when he carelessly played a ball that hit a lineswoman.

The woman collapsed in apparent pains

Even though Djokovic ran to the woman to comfort her, he had broken a rule and the punishment was elimination from the tournament.

Djokovic just hit a lines person in the neck with an errant ball after losing a point. And I think he knew it. Yikes. pic.twitter.com/05iVUtpQ0Z
