Swedish tennis participant Mikael Ymer was disqualified after slamming his racket into the umpire’s chair throughout a match on the Lyon Open on Wednesday.
The 24-year-old Ymer was upset that the umpire refused to examine a line name within the eleventh sport of the primary set of his second-round match in opposition to Arthur Fils.
Ymer thought the ball went broad and pleaded for the umpire to examine.
“You noticed it clearly bounce on the road, then present me the mark on the road,” the 53rd-ranked Ymer stated. “I’ve by no means witnessed {that a} ref says ‘I’m not going to go down and examine the mark.’ It doesn’t occur.”
After that, Fils broke Ymer with a cross-court backhand to take a 6-5 lead.
Ymer then twice slammed his racket into the underside of the umpire’s chair, leaving the stand broken and his racket in tatters. He was then defaulted.
