Jenson Brooksby defeated Fabio Fognini in a thrilling 3-setter. Nevertheless, something weird happened during the match when Jenson failed to apologize when he won a point after hitting a let cord. Fabio was not impressed with his behavior, which went against the etiquette of the sport. Things got even more bizarre in the following on-court interview when Brooksby said that he did not apologize because he was taught that hitting let cords does not mean being lucky.
Here is the interview.
"[Fognini] said I should apologize for let cords, but I was taught that it's not really luck-based."
