Coco Vandeweghe is not one of the most popular tennis players around the world and today she may have lost some more fans (if any).
The world no.9 lost in the Australian Open first round against Timea Babos 7-6 (4) 6-2 displaying an appalling behavior.
First, the American got a code violation for refusing to get back the court because they were late to bring her the bananas (yes, it’s not a restaurant). Then Vandeweghe got a second code violation and a penalty point for screaming at her opponent “Oh fuck off, you fucking bitch” (sorry for the language).
Nice manners…. but the slams should not allow this. She should have been disqualified straight away.

CoCo Vandeweghe gets a point penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct as she trails a set and 1-5 to Babos on Hisense. Screamed obscenities toward Babos, looked like. #AusOpen

CoCo Vandeweghe had gotten her first code violation earlier for time violation/civil disobedience: refusing to take court without eating a banana first. #AusOpen pic.twitter.com/6Opg7xon2N
