Carlos Alcaraz it started well Beijing ATP 500 after defeating the “shooter” Givoanni Mpetshi Perricard in two sets (6-4, 6-4).
However, when he served to win the first, one of the biggest disappointments of the Murcian’s career occurred on the track.
The world number 3 received a second warning for exceeding 25 seconds of service and it exploded.
Alcaraz spoke directly to the Romanian chair umpire Raluca Andrei to blame him for the sanction.
“I can’t play tennis like that. It’s not tennis. What is a 100 meter sprint?” Carlitos told him, who received support from the public.
“I can’t play tennis like that… What is this? 🫤”
