Almost got shot by Novak Djokovic, ballboy survived a bad accident
After Rublev’s serve and Djokovic’s return, Rublev hit the crosscourt, and Djokovic was unable to reach the ball. He went towards the ball and the racket ‘slipped out of his hand’. Some people don’t believe it’s slipping, they think the point is frustrated and Djokovic throws the racket. Whatever the case, the racquet shot towards the gunner and he was quick to get the racquet out of orbit. Even more surprising is that Djokovic has not apologized for this accident and the fans are not happy about it.
There are many who have sued for a racket shot, and others who have defended the world’s No. 1 have argued that it was not intentional. There was some noise on Twitter about this event and its customary nature to be filled with so many perspectives. However, in any case, it was fair and in the spirit of the game for Djokovic to apologize to the gunner for this accident.
Djokovic will seek more tournaments to further improve his form on clay before heading to Roland Garros to defend his strength. French Open Title.
