Now I have seen it all! Fognini after abusing the ball requests chair umpire Aurelie Tourte to give him a code violation: "Give me. [Pause] Give me."
Fabio Fognini asked the umpire to give him a code violation for ball abuse after he double-faulted in his match against Vukic.
A hilarious scene happened at the Sofia Open recently when Fabio Fognini played Aleksandar Vukic in the opening round. It was 5-5 in the first set and 15-0 to Fognini when the Italian committed a double fault. He was unhappy with it and slammed the ball high which got him a reaction from the crowd.
The umpire did not give him a code violation immediately but as he was getting ready to serve, Fognini asked the umpire to give him the code violation. Microphones picked him up saying: Give me, Give me. Ultimately he did end up getting a code violation for it.
It was just the latest bad result from the Italian who has had a poor year so far. He even admitted recently that he knows his career is coming to an end which will be a sad thing to see considering that it's never dull with him. You can see it below.
