Task 2 activity

1. What did Novak Djokovic do to make him default from the US open?

2. What rule did Djokovic break?

3. Do you agree with Djokovic’s punishment? Why? Explain

4. Watch the video in the article. Do you agree with what the man said? Explain

5. Should professional sportsmen and women let their emotions get the best of them while playing? Explain

1. Djokovic hit a line judge in the throat by accident with a tennis ball.

2. Hitting a ball dangerously and recklessly into the woman’s throat which could have made her die from how hard he hit it. 

3. I agree that he had to default because if he hit it harder it could have killed her and he broke a rule. A couple of weeks before this happed he hit an advertiser so he got what he deserved.

4. Yes because he told us that he did it a week before and that it’s not acceptable because he is influencing the world. And since he is getting paid 20 million dollars a year that he needs to respect what he’s getting

5. Yes if it’s a happy emotion but if it’s an angry or sad emotion no because they will take it out on someone else and hurt them because they lost.

This week was the second week back from the holidays. We had to do stuff about sportsmanship and we did it about Djokovic because he hit a woman in the throat with a tennis ball. What I liked about doing this was that it's about sport and I like sport so it was fun. What I didn't like about this was that you had to go from one slide to the other.
