Djokovic Dodges DQ Drama at Aussie Open

Wow, talk about déjà vu! King Novak nearly repeated his 2020 US Open fiasco at the Australian Open, smashing a ball in frustration that almost hit a ball girl. Justine Henin called him “very lucky” to avoid disqualification, especially since this gesture looked even more intense than the one that got him tossed in New York. Emotions clearly run high for the 24-time Slam champ—do you think the officials got it right this time? #Sports #Tennis #Djokovic
