Athletistic / Tennis. Russian tennis player Andrei Rublev, ranked 5th in the world rankings, said how worried he was about the incident at the ATP-500 tournament in Dubai (UAE). The Russian was disqualified in the semi-finals of the competition.
During the semi-final match with Kazakhstan representative Alexander Bublik, Rublev shouted at the linesman. As a result, the Russian was disqualified.
He was supposed to lose his prize money and points, but ultimately, after an appeal, he retained his points and prize money for reaching the quarterfinals.

“After the incident in Dubai, I leave, in general, everything is fine. I am guilty, it is unacceptable to behave like this, to raise my voice like that. And it doesn’t matter if it is about a referee, a linesman, spectator, ordinary person. I am not someone to allow myself to do that – and what matters is not whether he is right or not, it is unacceptable. Of course, I feel guilty about this. I am ashamed that I allowed myself to do this and allowed myself several times before this incident. There was simply less attention paid to it,” Rublev said in an interview with the YouTube channel “Plus”.
