Tennis star confronts opponent for ‘screaming like a b***h’ as umpire intervenes
Marton Fucsovics slammed his opponent on the Lyon Open as he claimed that Sebastian Baez was “screaming like a b***h”. The world No 80 claimed that the Argentine was one in all many 20-something-year-old gamers who didn’t play truthful. And the chair umpire was compelled to intervene as Fucsovics went on an X-rated rant earlier than dropping the match.
Tensions boiled over in Lyon as Fucsovics discovered himself trailing by a set and a break to sixth seed Baez. In a frosty changeover, the Hungarian approached the world No 44 after taking place a break and challenged him over his behaviour.
“How old are you? 12 years old” Fuscovics requested him, as Baez merely responded: “No, 22.” The 31-year-old clearly wasn’t glad along with his opponent as he informed him: “You’re acting like a 12-year-old.”
And he continued his rant as he sat at his bench, launching a tirade on the youthful gamers. “These f*****g young 20-year-old guys,” he continued. “Not that he is the only one, playing so unfair.”

The world No 3 gained a feisty round-of-16 conflict towards Norrie 6-3 6-4 after the 27-year-old caught Djokovic’s legs with the ball after getting in for a smash within the second set. Quizzed about whether or not or not it was intentional, Djokovic instead took issue with some of the Brit’s other antics from the match – together with shouting come on.
“From the very beginning, I don’t know, he was doing all the things that were allowed,” the Serb defined. “He’s allowed to take a medical timeout. He’s allowed to hit a player. He’s allowed to say C’mon in the face more or less every single point from basically first game.
“Those are the things that we players know in the locker room it’s not fair play, it’s not how we treat each other. But, again, it’s allowed, so…”
