Andrey Rublev defaulted his match against Alexander Bublik as his temper got the better of him and he made a poor decision to scream in the face of the line judge at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.
Bublik was up 6-7, 7-6, 6-5 and was on the verge of victory anyway but Rublev lost his mind and screamed in the face of a line judge who unbeknownst to Rublev speaks Russian after a point didn't go his way. He was adamant he was speaking English, but the umpire decided to default him.
Rublev has had issues with his temper in the past smashing his racquet off his knee and screaming at photographers and his team during matches. But this is the first time he has been defaulted for such a move.
He loses all of his points and prize money from this week and will leave the top five as a result. Watch the video below.
