A spectator was injured by a racket thrown by tennis player Cameron Norrie during an ATP Tour tournament in Auckland on Tuesday, but he was disqualified after apologizing. Britain’s Norrie, who was born in Auckland, threw his racket in the air when trailing on match point in a match against Argentina’s Facundo Diaz Acosta.
The racket hit a woman sitting in a court side box, but she was not injured. The chair umpire warned Nori. However, he then lost the match 2–6, 3–6 in the first round of the tournament. It is noteworthy that he had reached the final in Auckland last year. Nori said about this, I had no intention of doing this, but still it is not considered ideal and I never did it. The female audience member was laughing and I told her I was sorry, I didn’t mean to do that. He replied that yes, I am absolutely fine. Let us tell you here that in 2020, Novak Djokovic was disqualified from the US Open for accidentally hitting a line person. At the 2023 French Open, Miu Kato and Aldila were also disqualified from the women’s doubles for accidentally hitting the ball girl.
