The Argentine tennis player was playing in the second set against Brazilian Orlando Luz, the chair umpire called him a net touch and declared the match after he overreacted.
Renzo Olivocurrent no. 270 in the ATP rankings, headlined the Santiago Challenger. Not because of the good performance in the round of 32 against the Brazilian Orlando Luz (272°), but for an overreaction that earned him disqualification from the contest.
Just starting the second set (the first went 6-3 in Luz’s favor), the Argentine tennis player served hard, looked forehand and tried to force deuce with a cross shot, but the chair umpire called net touch and gave the game to his rival.
Immediately, the 31-year-old man from Rosario started shouting, He dropped his racket on the brick dust and held his head.. While these types of heated moments are common in some games, what happened with Olivo was not a temporary feud and it ended in an explosion.: “He charged me a touch. “He’s a criminal!”
It was these off-color words that caused the supervisor to enter. Although that did not calm the national representative. In fact, He again slammed his racket to the side of the court and kicked the umpire’s chair which disqualified him from the tournament.
It is worth noting that Olivo just won the doubles title two days ago with Andrea Collarini at the Challenger in Santa Cruz de la Sierra after beating the brothers Hugo and Murkel Dellien. This is his eighth title in that modality. In singles, for his part, he reached the semifinals.
