Thoughts? Seemed a fair enough decision. Only similar thing a can remember is Nalbandian for kicking the linesman/advertising stand
The rules are the rules. 100% he had to be defaulted. There is no grey area here. It’s not like AFL, where he would have a lettuce leaf style punishment. Tennis has standards and integrity.
It’s just a shame, as he was probably going to win the tournament in a canter. There aren’t many tennis tournaments around at the moment and age may prevent him from breaking records he might otherwise have done.
