(VIDEO) "I want her out!" Tsitsipas demands umpire as the Greek is in no need for a bee while serving against Shelton

Greece’s tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas asked the umpire to remove a fan who was trying to interrupt him by imitating a bee.

The incident took place during the Cincinnati Open (Southern & Wester Open) second-round clash on Wednesday.

Tsitsipas complained to the umpire that a fan was trying to interrupt him by imitating a bee and that she must be removed.

"There's a person imitating a bee behind me. It's a buzz right before I serve," he said in a video posted on social media. “It has never happened in my career. I know they're supporting the [other player]. It's the lady over there, I want her out. She needs to go... when I'm about to serve, all I hear is [bzzz]."

The lady eventually apologised to the current world number four who went on to win the match in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 7-6.

Tsitsipas will now face Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz in the round of 16 clash of the tournament on Thursday.

The 25-year-old will be hoping to extend his run in the ongoing competition after suffering a surprise defeat in the round of 32 of the National Bank Canadian Open earlier this month.
