Djokovich tried to convince the supervisor of the match that everything turned out by chance, but the main argument in favor of the disqualification was that this was the second episode of inappropriate behavior in a few minutes. Together with the disqualification, Djokovic will be deprived of all rating points and prize money earned at the tournament.

After the incident, he wrote on Instagram that this situation would be his lesson. He apologized to the line judge, in front of the US Open tournament and to the fans.
