Holger Rune was hoping to win his second back-to-back title in Basel after conquering Stockholm when playing against Felix Auger-Aliassime on Sunday. However, the Canadian sensation was just too strong to win the match in straight sets 6-3 7-5. Unfortunately, something despicable happened during the match when Rune started to swear at the umpire Mohamed Lahyani using the ‘the f-word’ more than once.
Here is the video.
