Haase loses a point after mocking his opponent’s grunt

Robin Haase has made lots of fans after a peculiar episode.

The Dutch was playing the 1st round of the  Prostejov Challenger against the world no.182 Gonzalo Lama. The Chilean was absolutely on fire with his loud grunting; he was so annoying that Robin made fun of him mid-rally with a massive grunt. Even if the episode was incredibly funny, the umpire didn’t like it, and the Dutch lost the point for hindrance.

Here the video (you’d better lower the volume).

 

Eventually, Robin lost the match 6-3 6-3, but the encounter will be remembered for something else.

 

Was Haase right to make fun of his opponent?
