MELBOURNE: Canadian young gun Denis Shapovalov raged at the chair umpire before succumbing to nerves as he crashed out of the Australian Open first round 6-3 6-7 6-1 7-6 to unseeded Hungarian Marton Fucsovics.
That warning triggered a tirade at umpire Renaud Lichtenstein from the 20-year-old, who yelled repeatedly at the Frenchman: “It’s my racket, I can do whatever I want with it!”“The rule that I know is that if I break the racket you can code me but you can’t code me for slamming it,” a frustrated Shapovalov told reporters.“He gave me the warning because I did it two or three times and I think it’s not the way it works.
Shapovalov, the highest seed knocked out of the tournament early on Monday, was broken in the opening game of the match, conceded 17 unforced errors in the first set and came within a point of losing the second before Fucsovics gifted it with a double-fault.He knuckled down in the fourth but ended up squandering a 4-2 lead.
