Novak Djokovic learned “a big lesson” after being disqualified from the US Open for unintentionally hitting a line judge in the throat with a ball. “I’m working mentally and emotionally as hard as I am working physically,” Djokovic said Monday at the Italian Open. “I’m going to take this in as profound as possible for me as a big lesson.
