MELBOURNE -- Feisty Canadian Denis Shapovalov was sent packing from the Australian Open in the first round Monday after an epic row with the umpire for throwing his racquet in frustration.

The world number 13 was beaten 6-3, 7-6 , 6-1, 7-6 by Hungarian Marton Fucsovics in a big upset on day one of the first Grand Slam of the year.

The umpire warned him for throwing down his racquet and it didn't go down well with the temperamental Canadian. Shapovalov, who crashed out of the Auckland Classic last week to a qualifier, never really got going with his emotions getting the better of him.
