Denis Shapovalov lost his cool during his Australian Open quarter-final defeat to Rafael Nadal, sensationally accusing the chair umpire of corruption.
Rafael Nadal escaped Melbourne Park with a 3-2 victory against Denis Shapovalov yet the great was overshadowed by a heated exchange between Shapovalov and umpire Carlos Bernardes. The match was played in very difficult conditions as the heat continues to negatively impact players and Shapovalov simply lost his cool at a moment.
Nadal was taking a lot of time on serve and Shapovalov was not a fan of it complaining to Bernardes at the start of the 2nd set:
"You’re looking at the clock so long ago and he’s still not ready to play. ‘You’ve gotta code him."
Bernardes responded with:
"He’s (Nadal) not ready to play."
Shapovalov was still furios lashing out at Bernardes:
"Are you kidding me? You are all corrupt!"
In the end, Nadal walked up to the net and defused the situation before play resumed. His actions were praised by several analysts for being mature.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
