US Open: Stefanos Tsitsipas calls umpire a weirdo!
Deccan ChronicleNew York: Stefanos Tsitsipas accused a US Open chair umpire of having a bias against him during a tirade in which he told the official, “You’re all weirdos!” Tsitsipas told Damien Dumusois that the cause of his bias was “because you’re French probably and you’re all weirdos!” The argument came midway through the fourth set of Tsitsipas’ 4-6, 7-6, 6-6, 5-7 loss to Andrey Rublev. Dumusois told Tsitsipas it was time to play, but Tsitsipas was still reaching into his bag for a new headband and screamed at Dumusois that he still needed time to change. “I don’t know what this chair umpire has in specific against my team, but he’s been complaining and telling me that my team talks all of the time when I’m out on the court playing. He’s very — I don’t know,” Tsitsipas said afterwards.
