JAKARTA - The line judge who caused Novak Djokovic's expulsion from the US Open was attacked by online trolls by fans of the world No.1. Djokovic then reacted.
The Serbian says the woman linesman whose throat hit the ball he hit was completely innocent. He urged his fans to support the linesman.
Some have criticized the linesman on social media for exaggerating the injury he sustained when he fell and appeared to be gasping for breath.
"Please also remember that the line judge who was hit by the ball last night also needs public support," tweeted the 33-year-old tennis player as quoted by Antara, Tuesday, September 8.
"He is completely innocent. I ask all of you to continue to support and love him during this time," continued Djokovic.
Djokovic was disqualified due to the incident and at the same time missed the chance to win the 18th Grand Slam to close behind Rafael Nadal (19) and Roger Federer (20).
He later shared on Instagram for causing the incident and apologized to US Open organizers for his behavior.
The leading figures from the tennis world said that Djokovic deserved a disqualification against Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta in the last 16.
