Frances Tiafoe is not enjoying his match against Lorenzo Musetti in Rome. The American player had to compete with some heavy rain and he didn’t like it.
The ATP 1000 event in Rome is being plagued by a persistent downpour, which increased the suspense of the match. It started late in the second set and persisted, causing a heated argument between Tiafoe, chair umpire Jaume Campistol, and match coordinator Ali Nili.
The match was hanging by a thread when the skies began to pour. Once the rain started, the American team and spectators anticipated a break, but to their dismay and that of Tiafoe, the game went on.
Tiafoe the American completely self destructing at #atproma. Yelling at the umpire and now the crowd.
Lorenzo Musetti has stormed back to force a third set. 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
