Novak Djokovic made history today but not in the way he is used to. During his match with Carreno-Busta, Djokovic didn't play very well and after he lost his serve late in the set he hit a ball out of frustration. That ball struck a lineswoman pretty hard and the match was paused immediately. After some talks and deliberation, he was defaulted from the event due to the incident.

Incidents like this do happen but this is a very harsh punishment for the world number one. We will keep you updated as further developments occur.
