News24.com | US OPEN SHOCKER: Novak Djokovic disqualified after hitting official with ball

Novak Djokovic of Serbia tends to a line judge who he hit in the throat during the fourth round US Open against Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain on 6 October 2020.

Novak Djokovic was sensationally disqualified from the US Open on Sunday after striking a lines official with a ball during his last-16 match.

The world No 1 went 5-6 down in the first set to Spain’s Pablo Carreno Busta when he hit a ball in the direction of the female official.

It struck her in the throat and she could be heard gasping. 

Djokovic rushed over to check that she was okay and after a few minutes she got up and walked off the court.

Following around 10 minutes of discussions with the tournament referee, the umpire declared that Carreno Busta had won by default.

Djokovic shook hands with Carreno Busta before leaving the court.

The Serbian star is one of only a handful of players to be disqualified from a men’s singles tournament at a Grand Slam since John McEnroe was infamously tossed from the Australian Open in 1990.

Djokovic had been chasing an 18th Grand Slam title at the Billie Jean King US National Tennis Centre.

He was hoping to close the gap on Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, both absent from the tournament, in the race for the all-time men’s Slam singles title record.

Djokovic is on 17, with Nadal on 19 and Federer on 20.

Earlier, American Jennifer Brady led a day of upsets in the women’s draw.

Brady, the 28th seed, stunned three-time Grand Slam winner Angelique Kerber of Germany to reach a Grand Slam quarter-final for the first time in her career.

The 25-year-old took just 1hr 29min to sweep aside the 17th seed 6-1, 6-4 to move into the last eight at Flushing Meadows.

“It’s awesome. Hopefully I keep going,” she told reporters.

Brady, whose previous best appearances at Slams were fourth-round finishes at the Australian and US Opens three years ago, credited her run to becoming fitter. 

Brady will play Yulia Putintseva for a spot in the last four after the Kazakhstan 23rd seed stunned eighth seed Petra Martic of Croatia elsewhere on Sunday.

Putintseva displayed a range of exquisitely placed dropshots as she sent Martic tumbling out 6-3, 2-6, 6-4 in 2hr 37 min inside Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Later, two-time Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka looks to move into the last eight at the expense of Estonian 14th seed Anett Kontaveit.

Sixth seed Petra Kvitova is also in action against unseeded American Shelby Rogers.

In the men’s draw on Sunday, fifth seed Alexander Zverev became the first German to reach the US Open last eight since Tommy Haas in 2007.

Zverev, the fifth seed, bulldozed Spain’s unseeded Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 in just 1hr 34 min.

Later in the men’s draw, seventh-seeded David Goffin from Belgium goes up against Canadian 12th seed Denis Shapovalov.

READ: Actor Thandeka Mdeliswa dies after ‘being shot in argument’

The actress allegedly died after being shot at her family’s home in Evandar, Mpumalanga.

News24 earlier reported that Mpumalanga police spokesperson Brigadier Leonard Hlathi alleged that two men went to the home, and had an argument with Mdeliswa’s brother.

It is alleged that, when the actress went to address the two men, the situation escalated and one of them grabbed his friend’s firearm and allegedly shot the actress.

The two men fled allegedly the scene.

The actress was known to millions of SABC 1 viewers as Khanya on the IsiNdebele drama series, Ikani.

  • EFF threatens to shut down Clicks stores across the country from Monday.
  • This comes in the wake of an offensive hair advert by Clicks South Africa.
  • The political party had recently given Clicks a list of demands to meet within 24 hours.

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has issued a new directive to “fighters and ground forces” to nationally shut down Clicks outlets in South Africa.

“We are issuing a new directive, Clicks South Africa from tomorrow, 7th of September, you must close all your stores around South Africa up until Friday, 12 September.

“Fighters, tomorrow all of us in the morning, we are reporting to the nearest Clicks store to ensure that the directive of the EFF is implemented,” EFF secretary-general Marshall Dlamini said in a video statement on Sunday.

This comes after a Clicks advert went viral on Friday.

The hair advert, which sparked outrage, included pictures of four women – two black and two white.

News24 earlier reported that the advert described the hair of the two black women as “dry and damaged” and “frizzy and dull”, while the images depicting the white women’s hair were described as “fine and flat hair” and “normal hair”.

The political party had recently given Clicks a list of demands to meet within 24 hours.

According to the Citizen, the EFF demanded that Clicks publicly list the names of all the directors and employees involved in the commissioning of the said advert.

In addition, the political party demanded that all people involved in the commissioning of the advert in question, whether they be employees of Clicks or independent contractors, be dismissed with immediate effect, and also to publicly list the names of the service providers or contractors who commissioned the advert in question.

Lastly, that the contracted company, which commissioned the advert, must have its contract terminated with immediate effect.

The EFF demanded that the above be executed within the next 24 hours, with confirmation to be put in writing.
