The game was stopped in the first set. According to Reuters, during the next pitch, Djokovic hit the ball without looking at it. The result was a hit in the line judge. The woman screamed in pain and fell.
The Serbian tennis player was disqualified for unsportsmanlike behavior. The victory went to the Spaniard with a score of 6:5.
Carreño Busta reached the quarter-finals, where he will meet with the winner of the match between Denis Shapovalov and David Goffen.
