Djokovic fury over 'bad' call

Novak Djokovic launched a blistering, bitter attack on French Open officiating on Wednesday after he squandered a two sets lead to crash out of Roland Garros against Austrian journeyman Jurgen Melzer.

In a tense conclusion to the 4hr, 15min tie, on a sun-kissed Court Suzanne Lenglen, which had seen the Serbian commit 62 unforced errors and face 24 break points, Djokovic believed he was the victim of a bad call in the 10th and last game of the deciding set.

With Melzer serving for the match, Djokovic believed a passing shot which was called in by the line-judge had given him a 30-0 lead.
