Greg Rusedski
 

Did anyone just see this :shocked:

He was playing Andy Roddick, and Rusedski fired a shot, which was on the back line, and someone from the crowd shouted "OUT" or "FOUL" - something like that.
Roddick returned the ball, but Rusedksi left it, as he thought it was the linesman that called it.

The umpire didn't allow a re-point, and Greg flipped. It was live on BBC too.

He threw his racket on the ground, then threw a ball at the guy that called it. Then looked at the umpire and started swearing like mad, every other word was a swear word. I couldn't believe what I was watching, it was live at 6.30pm.
The crowd were all remaining silent as Greg was getting more wound up.
He must have sworn about 20 times in about a minute

As much as I hate to say it (:blush:) It was quite funny seeing the umpire just sit there, stuck for words - while Greg got all wound up.

In the end, he lost the match. Looks like he will be recieving a nice fine from the Tennis Asscoiation, and the BBC :thumbs:
Gives the papers a story for tomorrow now

Did anyone else see this live??

yeah i saw it was very very funny i can imagine alot of old people getting offended! He got a bit of a rubbish fine but oh well i think they should pay him for pure comedy!!! Tennis has changed alot from those magical 80s! (it was on tv today) Greg lost as well oh well lets all rely on the henmeister to win (not happenin), oh well! :devil:

I loved it when John McEnroe aka the Saint was counting 2,000 - 4,000 etc at each swear word. But Greg actually got fined only £1,500.

I think he had a point they both thought the linesman had called the ball out and when it was discovered it was someone in the crowd the umpire should have replayed the point.

I know he shouldnt have lost his temper, but lets face it would we not have done the same in the same situation. :devil:

I think they should have replayed the point
But we should concentrate Tim on getting to the finals
[marquee]Tim to win[/marquee]

But im afraid it will be like a movie like the one they are filming
