Novak Djokovic is going viral after he destroyed his tennis racket in a fit of rage while playing in the 2021 Australian Open today.

The 33-year-old tennis pro was playing against Alexander Zverev of Germany during day nine of the Open at Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Australia.

The current number one men’s player in the world accidentally blew a play while hitting his ball into the net. In a fit of rage, he destroyed his racket on the court and even left some white marks on the blue ground.

Someone actually had to come to the court to clean up after the fit of rage. Novak ended up winning the match and will play in the semi-finals tomorrow.

Novak has been no stranger to controversy and was actually disqualified from the US Open this past year after hitting his tennis ball into the throat of a line judge.

Novak Djokovic and his wife Jelena share an embrace while spending time at a local park on Sunday (January 10) in Marbella, Spain.

The 33-year-old Serbian tennis player and Jelena, 34, went to a park by the beach with their kids and some other family members that afternoon.

Novak and Jelena were seen engaging in some PDA while their kids had fun on the playground. The kids are not pictured in the gallery.

The couple hid their kids’ faces in a family photo they shared on Instagram to celebrate the new year. Novak captioned the below post by saying, “Happy New Year from our family to yours! We wish you love, laughter, and light! ❤️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦”

Novak Djokovic has done it again!

Just one month after the tennis star was disqualified from the U.S. Open after accidentally hitting a lineswoman with a tennis ball, he hit a line judge in the face during the French Open.

The moment happened during Novak‘s fourth round match against Karen Khachanov of Russia on day nine of the 2020 French Open on Monday (October 5) at Roland Garros in Paris, France.

Novak was disqualified from the U.S. Open because the ball hit the lineswoman when he smacked the ball out of the court in a moment of frustration. Since the ball wasn’t in play at the time, he was disqualified.

The French Open moment was purely accidental and it happened while the ball was still in play, so he was able to continue in the tournament. The line judge thankfully was not injured.

Novak Djokovic has issued a statement following his disqualification from the 2020 US Open.

If you didn’t see, the 33-year-old Serbian tennis player was disqualified after accidentally hitting a lineswoman with a ball during a fit of anger mid-game.

She was hit in the throat, and dropped to the ground at the back of the court.

After the USTA decision to disqualify him, Novak released his own statement on social media.

“This whole situation has left me really sad and empty,” he started. “I checked on the lines person and the tournament told me that thank God she is feeling ok. I’m extremely sorry to have caused her such stress. So unintended. So wrong. I’m not disclosing her name to respect her privacy.”

Novak added, “As for the disqualification, I need to go back within and work on my disappointment and turn this all into a lesson for my growth and evolution as a player and human being. I apologize to the @usopen tournament and everyone associated for my behavior. I’m very grateful to my team and family for being my rock support, and my fans for always being there with me. Thank you and I’m so sorry.”

Earlier in the summer, Novak made more headlines for his stance on coronavirus.

Novak was a favorite to win in the men’s singles tournament, and was down 5-6 in the first set against Pablo Carreño Busta.

Right before, on the second point, he fell to the ground after chasing a shot and was seen holding onto his left shoulder. Frustrated, he walked to the sideline and launched the ball behind him, accidentally hitting the umpire. She was hit in the throat, and dropped to the ground at the back of the court.

He appeared visibly stunned and walked towards her to check on her condition. Officials discussed for several minutes, and decided to default the player, who shook hands with opponent Pablo, who advanced to the quarterfinals.

The disqualification also means there will be a first-time Grand Slam men’s singles champion at the U.S. Open this year.

“In accordance with the Grand Slam rulebook, following his actions of intentionally hitting a ball dangerously or recklessly within the court or hitting a ball with negligent disregard of the consequences, the US Open tournament referee defaulted Novak Djokovic from the 2020 US Open. Because he was defaulted, Djokovic will lose all ranking points earned at the US Open and will be fined the prize money won at the tournament in addition to any or all fines levied with respect to the offending incident,” the USTA said in a statement.

Back in May, Novak came under fire when he broke social distancing rules in Spain and he also made controversial comments back in April about the coronavirus vaccine.

Novak would later test positive for coronavirus, releasing an apology, saying that he was wrong to set up a tour amid the pandemic.

Novak was seen wearing a “Let’s Croc the Court” tee before getting shirtless during his fitness regime on the beach.

He revealed that he tested positive for coronavirus in late June, becoming the fourth tennis player to test positive. He first played in Belgrade, and then in Zara, Croatia. His wife has also tested positive.

“The moment we arrived in Belgrade we went to be tested. My result is positive, just as Jelena‘s, while the results of our children are negative. Everything we did in the past month, we did with a pure heart and sincere intentions. Our tournament meant to unite and share a message of solidarity and compassion throughout the region,” he said.
