@@Julian-qs8xq did you even hear the pop noise when the ball hit Novak's leg? That overhead was struck pretty hard, not some reflex volley traveling at 30 mph. Not serious enough to cause an injury but shit can still hurt enough to be taken personally. You're just a great example of the trash media brainwash

When you are playing at a pro level and your opponent has virtually already conceded the point, there is absolutely no need to smoke the ball that hard and put it anywhere in their direction, like cmon man you can control the ball better on such an easy shot

what does djokovic turning his back have to do with anything. if djokovic didn’t turn his back with norrie having a sitter overhead he could have gotten much more hurt point is norrie shouldn’t have aimed in djokovic direction on a point blank sitter overhead with the court wide open. and norrie hit the overhead pretty hard

Big mistake, if you apologize and you mean it Novak is no worse and no better. But if you didn't mean it Novak will come after you and play the best tennis of his life.

[@3chords490]

Am I missing something ? The point was not finished and Norrie had a job to do , and he did it. He had to hit an overhead to make sure of the point. Novak gave up on the point , so it was his responsibility to get out of the way asap. Norrie had his eye on the ball. Even a simple over head can be missed so you hit the ball in the middle of the court , it’s just bad luck that’s where Novak was.

[@silentlyBoring]

Norrie touched the net. So point was Novak's

[@seankeegan8285]

everyone loves drama, look at Norrie, he literally is so focused he doesn't notice Novak turning to end the point. He also apologizes and looks at him lol you can see it.

Lol Nadal hit him in the face because it was really his best play, then stepped right up and apologized. Djokovic didn’t accept it at first but later on said he was wrong to get so upset over it.

[@TheseHoesAreLoyal]

@@SJ-di5zu Nadal also cleared the air and apologized again to Djoko at the net, and besides they are good friends off the court too anyway. Norrie instead decided to scream after that break in the second set and gives him a cold handshake after the match. Goes to show how Nadal is a sportsman and Norrie isn't

[@iwasadeum]

The player going for the spike clearly was looking up at the ball and did not see his opponent had already given up on the play. That being said, a handshake would've cleared the air indefinitely about this play. Many pro athletes need to learn about sportsmanship 😑

[@albertoa8794]

Grande Novak !!!

[@Mamushi]

For me the smash hitting Djokovic was more than likely unintentional. Where should you aim a close smash like that to avoid any real danger? Low near the feet. Where did it hit? The foot. It happens so many times in Tennis matches, you turn your back and you get hit accidentally. Now the thing I didn't like was that Norrie put his hand up then walked away, no real apology for hitting Djokovic. Then with everything else that happened after, that felt like pure gamesmanship going on. Looks more like Norrie was trying to rattle Djokovic instead of pumping himself up or actually had any issues. Was it a heat of the moment thing? Most likely but when it comes to the handshake, the least you can do is have a quick chat or give a little apology.

[@caio7487]

Tldr

[@notofficialpickles507]

He made eye contact and raised his hand up, he shouldn't have done any more than that. It was care less and unprofessional of novak to turn his back while the point is still playing. Shaking Novaks hand was the max he should e done.

[@TheseHoesAreLoyal]

Norrie saw that Djokovic basically gave up on the point by walking slowly toward the baseline and even had a court wide-open to hit the smash down the line, but instead chose to hit the smash literally at Djokovic. It wasn't intentional but such a dumb and senseless move by Norrie. He also should've done a better job of apologizing to Novak after that incident, but clearly just raised his palm as if he hit a lucky shot. That ball hit Djoko's calf pretty hard and any other player would be pissed too.

[@TheseHoesAreLoyal]

@@notofficialpickles507 Technically you're right. But it's a great way to become disliked by the opponent fast.

Completely agree shots like that happen all the time it’s what he did afterward and throughout the match that makes this so much worse than an “accident”
