VIDEO: Shapovalov shouts "shut the F*** up" to crowd during heated Sonego clash at Internazionali BNL d'Italia Rome
ATP
Denis Shapovalov won through against home hope Lorenzo Sonego at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia Rome but it turned out to be a wild clash.
Shapovalov who already had a warning received a code violation for crossing the net and received a point penalty as a result.
He was furious as a result and called the supervisor and shouted "shut the f*** up" to the crowd and was lucky as a result to not receive a game penalty.
Wrapping up a 7-6(5), 3-6, 6-3 win, he apologised to the umpire saying "I'm sorry, I know you're just following the rules."

- Two Things: 1. Stop allowing these Spoiled Trust-Fund Elitists to behave badly. Your little hand-slaps do not deter them. 2. STOP the incessantly annoying "towel wiping" nonsense!!!!

- Where is it written that athletes, entertainers... People in general... are mandated to keep looking at -- or even using [anti]Social Media? Public & private figures consistently complain and reveal their concerns about negativity and violence thrown at them -- yet they insist on participating. Avoid it, don't use it, don't read it. It's okay to occasionally look up at the World instead beating your eyes & thumbs to death on The Inventions out there.mandoist11-10-2026

- Let's not BS the general public -- Sabalenka started showing cracks in her game last season. Her losses and near-losses started at about the same time she began being distracted by Fame (constant Selfies, making TV commercials, magazine shoots, endless Social Media nonsense, etc., etc.) One would think even Saba could recognize the parallels with others who failed before her -- Raducanu, Giorgi, Bouchard to name a few.mandoist25-09-2026
- Gross!! Hey Raducanu, Giorgi, and Bouchard -- reserve a seat at your Social Media Selfie table for Saba + Naomi. They're heading in your direction soon enough.mandoist24-09-2026
- And then these same players will complain about how lengthy their season’s were and need more time-off. I’m all for more tennis but the amount of tennis we get now is actually kind of crazy! We all need a break, especially the players.DaveyWavey23-09-2026
- You should do a comparison article for "different kinds of justice" the courts decide for tennis players. I can think of at least three players who received very small bans of a few months, however Tara Moore has been fighting for her literal survival the past few years. It seems odd considering she is not a "name" player, unlike the other cases.DaveyWavey22-09-2026
