小德誤傷裁判美網出局World number one Novak Djokovic was disqualified in the US Open fourth round on Sunday after striking a line judge with a ball during the first set of his match against Spain's Pablo Carreno Busta.
9月6日，美國網球公開賽第四輪比賽中出現戲劇性一幕，排名世界第一的德約科維奇在對陣西班牙選手布斯塔的首盤比賽中擊球誤傷邊裁，被取消了比賽資格。Having dropped serve to trail 5-6, Djokovic swatted a ball hard to the back of the court, inadvertently striking a female line judge in her throat.
當時小德在發球局以5-6落後，他用力地把球打向場地後面，不慎擊中了一名女邊裁的喉嚨。
With the line judge screaming in pain as she fell to the ground, a horrified Djokovic ran over to her and apologized.
後者倒地痛苦尖叫，小德驚恐地跑過去並向她道歉。
After 12 minutes of pleading, Djokovic's fate was sealed.
12分鐘的懇求之後，小德命運已定。The Grand Slam rules state: "Players shall not at any time physically abuse any official, opponent, spectator or other person within the precincts of the tournament site."
根據大滿貫規則：“在任何時候，球員不得在比賽場地範圍內對任何裁判、對手、觀衆或其他人進行攻擊。”US Open Tennis said in an official statement: "Because he was defaulted, Djokovic will lose all ranking points earned at the US Open and will be fined the prize money won at the tournament, in addition to any or all fines levied with respect to the offending incident."
美網發佈正式聲明稱，由於被取消比賽資格，德約科維奇將失去在美網的所有排名積分以及所獲得的獎金。此外還將因違規事件被罰款。
