Two fans reacted very aggressively when the Australian came back into the match.
Explaining that they had "bet big" on the Frenchman, the two young men were not happy to see the match evened out.

Reacting to this rather disturbing sequence, Denis Shapovalov took to social networks: "So, ATP, how long are we going to let this sort of thing go on?"
