“Hey Carlos, did I ask for the physio?” Tournament supervisor Cedric Mourier then took to the court as Medvedev continued his tirade over the ball mark, calling for one particular linesman to be fired.
“It’s not my responsibility to referee the match. It’s this guy in the glasses. He doesn’t need glasses because he doesn’t see anything, he should not be the referee. It’s behind him, it’s in front of him. It’s a slow ball. He’s a bad referee, he should be out of the referee circle. It’s clay, it’s not hard court. It’s out.”
Tsitsipas hasn’t confirmed whether his tweet was aimed at anyone in particular but Medvedev has been at the centre of arguments with umpires this week. And it would come as no surprise if the Greek star was taking shots at the world No. 4 as they have a history of beef.
