Sunday night was a very bad night for Novak Djokovic. He accidentally hit a line judge with a ball and was then defaulted from the 2020 US Open. Now, the USTA also released a statement regarding this event which explains also a point and prize money penalty for Djokovic.

"In accordance with the Grand Slam rulebook, following his actions of intentionally hitting a ball dangerously or recklessly within the court or hitting a ball with negligent disregard of the consequences, the US Open tournament referee defaulted Novak Djokovic from the 2020 US Open."

"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."
