Default Greg Rusedski

Did anyone just see this

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 () 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
Gives the papers a story for tomorrow now

Did anyone else see this live??
