American tennis player Francis Tiafoe insulted the chief referee after the end of the match against the Russian Romana Safioullina at the Masters Series tournament in Shanghai.
In the third round, the Russian defeated his opponent with a score of 5:7, 7:5, 7:6 (7:5). The athletes spent more than three hours on the field.
After the opponents shook hands in front of the net, Tiafoe walked towards the judge on the chair and repeatedly shouted in a crude and obscene manner: “Fuck you!” A video repeating the American’s remarks was published on social networks.
In the next round, Safiullin will face the fourth racket in the world, Serbian Novak Djokovic, who had already defeated Italian Flavio Cobolli with a score of 6:1, 6:2.
