Novak Djokovic Defaulted from 2020 US Open | Monday Match Analysis

Novak Djokovic was in the first set of his Third Round US Open match with Pablo Carreno Busta. After getting broken for 6-5, Djokovic took a ball out of his pocket and hit it towards the back wall, where it struck a lineswoman in the throat. The incident resulted in an immediate match penalty against Djokovic. I breakdown why this happened, if the correct call made and is the correct rule is in place? Then (22:06), I welcome Mike McIntyre of the Match Point Canada podcast to discuss the incredible success of Canadians at the 2020 US Open. Never before had a Canadian made the quarterfinal of the Open. Denis Shapovalov has achieved the feat with his win over David Goffin, and now Felix Auger-Aliassime and Vasek Pospisil are one win away from joining Shapo in the QF. Finally, I break down the current US Open field, including a revised pick for the title. There are no former grand slam champions remaining in the draw, meaning Dominic Thiem, Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Zverev, Andrey Rublev, Matteo Berrettini, or perhaps someone else will win their first career grand slam.
