(Reuters) - Novak Djokovic was disqualified in the U.S. Open fourth round on Sunday for striking a line judge with a ball after going 5-6 down in the first set against Spain's Pablo Carreno Busta.
Djokovic's exit means there will be a first-time major champion at Flushing Meadows and fifth seed Alexander Zverev will fancy his chances after firing 18 aces in a 6-2 6-2 6-1 dismantling of Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
