VIDEO: Chardy calls for umpire to be removed after locking horns with Evans over unclear tennis rule: "Are you looking at the birds?"

Jeremy Chardy was unhappy with a call the umpire made during his match against Dan Evans as he lost the point and his serve because of it.
Chardy and Evans were in a heated battle at the Australian Open when a ball dropped out of Chardy's pocket. It happened seconds before he would hit the ball into the net on break point with the umpire calling net. A long discussion followed about what the right call was with the umpire giving the point to Evans as Chardy wasn't really bothered by the drop with all the action happening on the other side and the point ending seconds after.
He wasn't happy about it though. He protested:
"I've never seen that in my life. I've played for 20 years and I've never had an umpire bad like you. Not one. You don't see a ball. I hit there a forehand, I go over there so it's like five seconds and you don't even see. Where are you looking? Are you looking at the birds? Are you looking somewhere in the crowd? That is the biggest mistake of the Australian Open already."
