Novak Djokovic has used the same excuse to avoid blame for every mistake this year — and he was at it again after hitting a line judge.
Djokovic seemed to do a little better after hitting the line judge in the throat. Although he, he released a statement on Instagram a few hours later that seemed genuine as he apologised for his brain snap.
It’s why Djokovic argued with officials planning to expel him from the tournament. He didn’t mean to floor the line judge — it was an accident — so why should he be punished? “I can’t help but hear Djokovic’s words in fact in the pre-tournament interview that Christopher Clarey did with him a couple of weeks ago,” she said on“That was probably set up by Djokovic’s people or the ATP as Djokovic’s mea culpa about the Adria Tour … and him doing his version of holding his hands up and trying to put it to bed.“The fact that he had no ill intent, he only meant well.
