Djokovic has been disqualified from the US Open for hitting a line judge in the throat with a ball he despatched in a fit of temper. It was accidental but apparently you could hear her choking through the sound effects mic.
Pretty sure that wouldn't have happened if Federer made same mistake. Absurd decision.

Was he looking straight at her or was it just a random act? Seems a little heavy handed, especially if it was an accident. the US Open just became even more irrelevant right now

yup - few cms either way and it's a non event. Def no intent
But rules are rules. If you hit the ball and it strikes an official you're toast. Intent and / or consequences aren't considered.
Fucking shit way to lose (presumably) the tournament though.
Reminds me of John McEnroe getting DQ'ed vs Mikhail Pernfors in the Aussie Open for cracking his tennis racquet

@dogmeat didn't look like he hit it very hard at all, but I guess if it hits the Adam's apple straight on itd hurt.
Will the line judge be in a neck brace and be suing?
Given how much power these pro players can generate, it never looks like much, but it is.
@dogmeat tournament is wide open now. Medvedev looks to have a favourable draw.

@ACT-Crusader Same side of the draw as Thiem. It's the top half that has really opened up For Zverev I reckon

When @taniwharugby posted that I actually dug up one of the most useless bits of trivia in my brain (there is a lot of crap in there). Women can have an Adam's apple - most don't. Testosterone levels, puberty and development of the larynx. You can't always spot a ladyboy by an Adam's apple. Caution is required.
Maybe it's not such useless information if visiting Thailand...

Always a good starting point if there is doubt on a Thai night out!

Going to the obvious starting point could end badly but much more conclusive.

Crocodile Dundee-ing it is for sure the only sure way.

Oh yes! True.

One thing that has been bugging me about this Joker thing is the media saying he was 'defaulted' from the tournament. Is that the right word to use? I always thought you can 'default' yourself but other people 'disqualify' you rather than 'default' you.
