Smashing a racket is not just part of the standard Benoit Paire repertoire. The Frenchman also knows exactly when a warning is no longer enough. And was pretty emotional twice at the ATP Cup.
Denis Shapovalov is also on the list of the ten biggest freaks of the past year - even though the Canadian did not even receive a warning in St. Petersburg. Shapovalov discussed with the chair referee until he had a disturbing fan removed from the hall.
Thiago Seyboth Wild, in turn, did not agree to a service from below by his opponent Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in Rio de Janeiro. And knew the audience was on his side. What cannot be said about Stefanos Tsitsipas , who affected his father at the ATP Cup. Whereupon the woman mom left the stadium.
Speaking of the ATP Cup: Daniil Medvedev also became the bad guy in his match against Diego Schwartzman . Pablo Cuevas, on the other hand, apparently didn't take his match against Nikoloz Basilashvili too seriously. Until he received a warning. Which even led to the man's brief departure from Uruguay. Ilya Ivashka paid one penalty point for too long a toilet break - and was not happy with this decision. Which resulted in a penalty game.
Karen Khachanov and Daniel Evans, finally, chair arbitrator Ali Nili also had a lot to say.
