Australia’s Jordan Thompson was involved in an unfortunate incident
at the Cincinnati Open. The competition started on Tuesday, and some of the best players in the world participated to showcase their talent and secure
the ultimate prize.
Thompson featured in the opening round fixture on Tuesday
against France’s Ugo Humbert. During the contest, in the second set, Thompson
was hackled with a fan sitting close to the changing area. "I want to see
Nick Kyrgios, not Jordan Thompson,” the fan said. Later in the set, he was asked by the security to quiet, or he would be thrown out.
