Djokovic, karma is a freaking bitch

I'm still shocked , i'm not a fan of Novak but seeing him play is something always fun , it's his fault at the end of the day , but i'm not really sure about the law here cuz i don't think Novak hit the lineman deliberately 

No, of course he wasn't hitting the ball thinking "I'll try and hit that woman in her throat", but that's not the point.

Intent doesn't matter. Nalbandian tried to kick the boards and well... he found them moveable! DQ. See ya later!

not defending Novak , but i remember seeing the same incident i think in a WTA event days ago and the player just got a code violation , she hit the lineman on his face also , so it depends on supervisor i think

Shapovalov got DQ for this lunacy as well.

Let's back to the real tennis... Break for Rogers against Kvitova in the 3rd set

That one was bad, IIRC the umpire required surgery.

At least in his case I felt (a little!) bad for the guy. Very young, lost his temper, it happens to all of us when we're young. Right to be DQ'ed, of course, but fine. Djokovic really should know better, but alright, we've heard again and again this year that he really doesn't know better and can't be taken seriously.

Is that a surprise? I always find it hard to track what are surprised in women's tennis since every year there seem to be 5 new ones who are suddenly the best and last year's best are only mediocre and expected to lose

what's the rule here exactly ? players should not throw the ball to the air after the game ?
