The courts in Santiago at the local ATP250 are seriously below par. During his last match, Arthur Fils lost his cool against the supervisor, using the f-word continuously. Tennis fans were puzzled as to why he received only a warning in contrast to Andrey Rublev’s default in Dubai, where he allegedly shouted obscenities at a line judge.
Here is the video.
