Daniil Medvedev’s semifinal match against Novak Djokovic ended with a thud ... after the tennis star fired a tennis ball into a fan's face.

Djokovic already had Medvedev on the ropes before the disqualification -- he won the first set and led the second, 5 games to 3 -- but he wasn't done yet ... until he recklessly sent the ball into the stands, leaving a spectator clutching his eye.

The innocent fan was escorted from his seat and taken to the hospital. Thankfully, it doesn't sound like the injury is too serious.

Celebrating a game-sealing, 4th-quarter pick with a delicious dinner?! Say less ... the N.Y. Giants defense hit up a New York City hotspot Sunday night to celebrate their thrilling win!

TMZ Sports has learned Deonte Banks, the game's hero, treated teammates Kayvon Thibodeaux, Abdul Carter, Jevon Holland, Tremaine Edmunds, Nic Jones, and many more to a fancy dinner at Sei Less.

The former first-round draft pick rented out a private room at the upscale restaurant/lounge ... where the (very hungry) football players dined on chicken satay, lobster spoons, Beijing chicken, chicken wontons, shrimp lo mein, and more.

As the G-Men were leaving, other guests spotted the players, and they were psyched ... with many congratulating Banks on the game-saving play.

If you missed it, the Cardinals had the ball on the 4-yard line, 4th and goal, down 6 points, with 12 seconds remaining.

One play for Big Blue ... get a stop and win the game.

Deonte did one better, picking off Jacoby Brissett's pass and returning it 96 yards for a touchdown.

Game over, Giants win, 36-24.

Of course, not everyone on the Giants was able to attend the feast, including Jaxson Dart, who was at home nursing his newly surgically repaired knee.

While it was a bummer to miss out on time with his teammates, the Giants QB was PUMPED when Banks made the pick ... a reaction that was caught on camera by his GF Melissa Ayers.

Travis Kelce is runnin' another year around the sun, and when the NFL superstar ain't high and tight on the field, he's turning heads with some serious style from his fashion playbook.

From oversized suit style to game-day swag ... and casual streetwear ... Travis has been serving up looks worthy of a fresh lyrical drop from Taylor!

The 6'5" hunk throws up looks that always thrive, on the gridiron and on the streets! Cool, calm n' collected is the vibe!

At the final whistle, Killa-Trav's style is solid as a piece of "Wood!" 😜

AEW star PAC's sudden death is still short on answers, and a newly obtained response from the city isn't filling in all the blanks ... TMZ has learned.

PAC -- real name Benjamin Satterley -- was found unresponsive inside his car in a CAVA restaurant parking lot in Des Plaines, Illinois, on Sept. 27 ... just hours after wrestling in Chicago.

As TMZ previously reported, customers spotted the 40-year-old inside the vehicle around 4 PM and called 911.

LeBron James is free to hop on Fanatics' helicopter whenever he wants -- while playing in Philly and living in NYC -- and that open invitation is part of his deal with a company that treats the King like royalty.

A source close to Fanatics tells TMZ Sports the newly signed 76ers superstar -- a “key partner” for the biz -- is one of the “most important athletes in the world,” and because of that, they're happy to let him use the company chopper anytime he wants.

James was spotted leaving the City of Brotherly Love in Fanatics' Leonardo AW139 heli after the Sixers scrimmaged on Saturday, on a roughly 45-minute flight back to the Big Apple.

Two games into the Capitals' season, longtime captain Alex Ovechkin announced he's hanging up his skates at the end of the year ... in a heartfelt locker room speech.

"This is going to be my last year,” the NHL legend told his teammates ... a decision he says he came to with the help of his family.

Ovechkin -- who won a Stanley Cup in 2018 -- is in the midst of his 22nd season with the Capitals. He's played 1,573 games and scored 929 goals in his legendary career.

But Father Time catches up to everybody ... even the "Russian Machine."

The sudden announcement visibly moved the Capitals locker room ... they embraced their captain after the speech.

Ovechkin also released a statement further explaining his decision.

“My family and I decided this summer that this will be my final year in the NHL. I love this game so much, but I know in my heart it’s the right decision," Ovechkin said.

"It was important for me to make this announcement before our first home game, so I have the chance to thank all the people around the game, everyone who has been so important to me and my family and helped me through good times and tough losses."

Since making the announcement, the future Hall of Famer has received praise from all around the hockey world, including from his old rival, Sydney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and countless more.

Does the ‘Great 8’ have the juice for one more Stanley Cup run to cap off his career?

The 76ers had a big offseason -- they brought in LeBron James and Jaylen Brown -- and the Miami Heat added Giannis Antetokounmpo ... to which John Starks says, cool, but the Knicks are still top dog in the Eastern Conference!

TMZ Sports ran into the legendary Knicks shooting guard Friday morning in NYC, and asked him if he believed the champs were getting the proper level of respect after winning the chip.

"They're getting their respect, but I know coming back into the season you have to be hungry. If they still have that underdog mentality coming into the season, it's gonna be good for them," Starks told us.

Zach Bryan has officially broken the attendance record at Robert Kraft's Gillette Stadium ... on the very night he wore a "Free Palestine" shirt for the second time!

The stadium actually broke the news themselves ... sharing on Instagram that 73,538 fans had attended his show.

Many fans, including Bella and Gigi Hadid's sister Alana, were quick to point out that the photos the stadium posted avoided close-up shots of Zach's shirt.

Ciara showed off her baby bump in a beautiful sheer lace outfit while out and about during PFW ... and the singer was accompanied by a famous friend.

While Ciara wore a skin-tight black dress ... La La stunned in a red dress for their girls' night out in the City of Love.

LeBron James is proving his helicopter commute from Philadelphia to NYC is a breeze ... after the 76ers superstar wrapped up a major first milestone with his new team.

LeBron -- who is splitting time between NYC and Philly -- had just finished his first scrimmage with the 76ers on Saturday ... before taking the roughly 45-minute commute to New York.

The scrimmage, held in front of 10,000 fans at a sold-out Xfinity Mobile Arena, was a success, according to LBJ.

Zach Bryan has returned to Robert Kraft's Gillette Stadium after causing a stir with his first show, where he wore a "Free Palestine" shirt ... and night 2 was no different.

Jordon Hudson proved she celebrates "Mean Girls" Day ... as she showed up to support her man Bill Belichick at Chapel Hill wearing a pink satin two-piece.

Accessorizing with her trademark football-shaped purse ... Jordon also wore a championship ring on her finger Saturday and a pink bustier top and matching pants that we think Regina George would approve of.

Looks like we'll have to change the iconic "Mean Girls" phrase "on Wednesdays, we wear pink" to include Saturdays, too!

A star Massachusetts high school football player has died after suffering a brain hemorrhage ... and he was only 17 years old.

Marblehead High School senior Owen Coyne experienced a "sudden brain hemorrhage" ... but his family pointed out that it was not from receiving an impact while playing the sport.

Owen's mom Angela Paradise told the Marblehead Current ... "It is with profound sadness and indescribable grief that we share that Owen passed away after a sudden brain hemorrhage.

Owen's athletic gifts were on display not only on the football field, but on the track and baseball field as well.

Zach Bryan's drummer joined in on his pro-Palestinian outfit choice at Robert Kraft's Gillette Stadium ... by wearing a jersey with a special meaning.

Zach Bryan is making a pretty loud statement at Robert Kraft's Gillette Stadium … hitting the stage in a "Free Palestine" shirt not long after the venue was at the center of Ed Sheeran's Macklemore controversy.

Bryan performed Friday night at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA, as part of his "With Heaven On" tour, and he and members of his band were seen sporting shirts reading "Free Palestine."

The timing is especially interesting considering what went down at the very same stadium just one week earlier.
