〔記者梁偉銘／綜合報導〕俄國退役網球名將卡費尼可夫（Yevgeny Kafelnikov）表示，
當今世界球王喬科維奇（Novak Djokovic）擊球誤傷線審，慘遭2020美國網球公開賽主辦
單位取消比賽資格，這判決雖引發各界爭議，卻完全沒有問題，「因為他就是要把球擊向
線審，而非給球僮。」
已獲國際網球名人堂殊榮的卡費尼可夫，曾贏得2座大滿貫男單金盃、2000年雪梨奧運男
單金牌，身為1997年美網冠軍，這位前球王針對此事向《蘇維埃體育報》表示，透過電視
轉播可以看出，當時喬帥被破發之後，是朝著線審方向擊球，雖沒有特別用力，卻直接命
中咽喉造成了傷害，「或許他情緒失控，想把球打到牆上，製造點聲音，讓主審注意到他
的沮喪和不滿。」
但無巧不巧，意外就這麼發生，「他就算只用一半擊球力道，都能讓毫無防備的民眾昏倒
，何況是女人。」現年46歲的卡費尼可夫強調，喬帥毫無理由反駁大會懲處，因為他自己
非常清楚發生了什麼狀況。

"I don’t think he thought about the repercussions," Kafelnikov, the 1997 US O
pen champion, told Soviet Sport.
"He hit [the ball] against the wall so that it would be loud.
"A half-power shot from Djokovic could knock an unsuspecting person out cold
– especially a woman.
"I don’t know what was happening with him earlier on in the match, but on eve
ry replay it is clear that he intentionally struck the ball towards the offici
als. And not just like returning the ball back to a ball boys...[it was] with
a half-strength shot. They defaulted him absolutely fairly.
"It’s possible he wanted the shot to make a noise off the wall, at which the
official would notice and understand his frustration."
