US Open Tournament Referee Soeren Friemel said there was "no other option" but to disqualify world number one Novak Djokovic on Sunday after he struck a line judge with a ball.
A frustrated Djokovic swatted a ball to the back of the court inside Arthur Ashe Stadium, inadvertently hitting a line judge in her throat after his fourth-round opponent broke his serve in the first set on Sunday.
