'Sad and empty': Djokovic out of US Open after hitting official with ball

"https://www.theage.com.au/sport/tennis/top-seed-djokovic-out-of-us-open-after-hitting-official-with-ball-20200907-p55sy6.html

"As he walked to the sideline for the changeover, Djokovic smacked a ball behind him. The ball hit a female line judge in the throat, who dropped to her knees at the back of the court.

After a discussion of several minutes with officials on court, Djokovic walked over to shake hands with Carreno Busta, and the default was announced.

^ Good. Nice to see Azarenka playing her best tennis after many years.

Margaret Court's record is protected.
🏆 | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | 🏆

Zverev won his SF in 5 sets.

Thiem has the break against Medvedev in the first set of their SF.

They haven't completed the first set yet, but Medvedev's odds have blown out to 3.00.

Surely it's possible to come back from a set down?

-----------------------------

Meanwhile, Osaka is heavy favourite against Azarenko for the ladies' title.
Osaka 1.54, Azarenko 2.44.

Maybe Osaka has now recovered from the coach split.

A first opening for Medvedev. Two break points in the first game of the second set.

And he converts the first one. Thiem a bit sloppy.

And Medvedev's odds are back down to 2.05. The punters are crazy!

The commentator (who is it?) says Thiem's level fluctuates a lot more than the Big Three. Medvedev's is more level, he says.

Zverev is half-watching the match, masked and bare footed.
