Novak Djokovic has been defaulted from the US Open for hitting and felling a lineswoman with a ball.
Djokovic whacked a ball towards the back of the court in a moment of frustration, without looking where it was going, and it hit the lineswoman in the head/neck area, dropping her to the ground. He quickly ran to her aid but the damage was done. "Players have been defaulted for less," said Darren Cahill, the veteran Australian coach who was courtside in Arthur Ashe Stadium commentating for ESPN. "I think the tournament made the right decision."
