Carlos Bernardes got frustrated with some fans during Novak Djokovic and Denis Shapovalov's ATP Cup Quarter-Final match.

Fans began to yell during serves and points and Shapovalov goaded the fans after getting frustrated this but the intense atmosphere continued and Bernardes had to intervene to pause the match and tell the fans off saying the following:

"Ladies and gentlemen, please. One moment, please. This is a tennis game. The most important thing between all of us is respect,” he said.

“If you guys will do this against Canadians or Serbians, this is not what we want. Please. Respect both players. Thank you."

"If you don't want to watch tennis, just go home. Rather than disturb the people who are here to watch tennis,” he then added.
