(VIDEO) "Shut the f**k up": Aryna Sabalenka receives obscenity violation after responding to heckler

Aryna Sabalenka is currently on the verge of defeat against Zheng Qinwen in her Quarter-Final at the Rome Open with the Chinese ace a set and a break up. The frustration was evident with Sabalenka who received a code violation for responding to a spectator.

Sabalenka shouted 'shut the f*** up' as a fan shouted 'Come on Aryna play tennis' while being a set and a break down to Zheng.

If she loses, it opens up the section of the draw with the bottom section seeing Jasmine Paolini face Peyton Stearns while Qinwen if she wins would take on Coco Gauff in the semi-finals.
