(VIDEO) Bizarre scenes as fan screams at top of their lungs as Kasatkina double faults during late night Rybakina clash

The tennis world witnessed a bizarre scene during the Omnium
Banque National Canadian Open in Montreal.
A fan screamed at the top of their lungs in the quarterfinal of
the event between Elena Rybakina and Daria Kasatkina.
The scream was so loud that it was recorded on camera. Users
on the social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, called the behaviour
‘pathetic’.
The world number four eventually managed to come out on top
against the young Russian player with a score of 5-7, 7-5, 7-6.
The victory was an important one for Rybakina as she has recently
lost the third spot in the WTA rankings which must’ve been a hard pill to
swallow.
Rybakina will be hoping that she will be able to take the
winning momentum into the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year which is set
to begin in less than 20 days in New York.
The Moscow-born does not have a great record while playing
at the US Open as it remains the only mega-event where she has never played in
the quarterfinal or beyond.
Her best outing was reaching the third round in 2021 where
she was defeated by Romania’s Simona Halep with a score of 7-6, 4-6, 6-3.

- From Day One, legalizing Sports Betting was never going to end well (for The Sport... not the thousands who lose their livelihoods and bank accounts). We're not even close to the end of the damage this is causing.

- Sabalenka seems so unhappy. When you get angry after every mistake you make on court, you’ve got some issues sweetie! She also does seem to be “partying” a lot if you follow her social media (I don’t lolol). Very immature personality.DaveyWavey03-09-2026
- The main difference for bigger names like Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverez, etc. is that they usually make it to the later stages of tournaments while 99% of the other players win a round or two and then move on to the next tournament. The bigger names are playing more, playing longer and therefore more injury issues. The money is great but it all comes with a price!DaveyWavey03-09-2026
