However, the men\u2019s field is now open as Djokovic has been disqualified from the US Open.<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic took on the 20th seed <strong>Pablo Carre\u00f1o Busta<\/strong> in the round of 16 and was expected to cruise to victory. <\/p>\n<p>However, Busta played well and pushed Djokovic in the first set which caused the Serbian player to be on edge. Djokovic lost his temper during the first set and ended up accidentally hitting the lines lady in her throat. <\/p>\n<p>The rules state that if you hit a ball in anger and it ends up hitting anybody, you will automatically be disqualified from the tournament. The referee made the decision to eliminate Djokovic who was aghast at seeing the lines lady in pain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7NEWS Australia<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gwr8DffGoRg?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic skipped the post-match interview and reportedly left <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/us\/states\/new-york\">New York<\/a> soon after.
