Djokovic urges ‘support’ for line judge
Novak Djokovic urged his fans to be "supportive and caring" of the line judge at the centre of his US Open default row after she was attacked by online trolls.
Some critics accused the line judge, who fell to the ground and appeared to have trouble breathing, of exaggerating.
"Please also remember the linesperson that was hit by the ball last night needs our community's support too," the 33-year-old Serb tweeted on Monday.
"She's done nothing wrong at all. I ask you to stay especially supportive and caring to her during this time."
