Argentine tennis player Renzo Olivo (270°) had a furious reaction in the first round of the Santiago Challenger, in Chile, and ended up disqualified for unsportsmanlike conduct. The 31-year-old from Rosario treated the umpire as a “criminal” after he charged him with a net touch on a break point against him and then kicked his chair.

It all happened when the Rosario-born player supposedly touched the net after a volley in his match against Brazilian Orlando Luz (373rd). The umpire quickly cashed in and Olivo reacted. “No no no! He charged me a touch! “He told his coach and, to his shouts, he launched a harsh phrase against the judge:” He is a criminal! “.

Given this situation, the referee warned the tennis player, who continued to be very upset with his ruling. “This skinny guy always does the same thing to me,” he continued and approached the umpire’s chair: first he threw a ball and when he was closer, he kicked it.
It was then that the tournament supervisor immediately disqualified the Argentine, who will also not be able to participate in the doubles that he was supposed to play this Wednesday.
