Athletistic/Tennis. A Kazakh referee named Boris Kravchuk turned out to be a Russian-speaking representative during the match, during which Russian tennis player Andrei Rublev made obscene remarks. This led to his disqualification from the ATP-500 tournament in Dubai (UAE).
Recall that in the fight to reach the final, Rublev faced the first racket of Kazakhstan, Alexander Bublik. Andrey was expelled from the competition in the latter part of the deciding third set of the match due to offensive behavior towards the linesman. This incident was not brought to the attention of the head referee of the tower, but of another line referee, who also speaks Russian.
