Canadian tennis player Denis Shapovalov got a bit testy during his Italian Open match on Monday, screaming a profanity at stadium fans while arguing a call with the chair umpire.
“Shut the f–k up!” Shapolvalov was captured yelling at the raucous crowd.
Shapovalov was down 3-4 in the second set, when he was handed a code violation for unsportsmanlike conduct after he hopped over the net to show the umpire a mark on his opponent’s side of the clay court — an act that is not permitted.
Umpire Richard Haigh had ruled the Canadian’s serve was out, resulting in a double fault and a break point for Italian opponent Lorenzo Sonego.
As Shapovalov continued to argue with the official, he called Haigh over to his side of the court and singled out a fan who was heckling him.
“I’m not going to kick him out because I didn’t see what he was doing,” Haigh said. “I saw you talking to him and you incited it a little bit. I understand you’re frustrated.”
