Videos - Tiafoe goes off the rails in Shanghai: "Fuck you!"

By Elio Valotto

Frances Tiafoe was trapped this Tuesday.

Up against Roman Safiullin, ranked 61st in the world and Bublik's winner in the previous round, the American was defeated after more than 3 hours of a crazy battle (5-7, 7-5, 7-6).

The most memorable moment of the match, however, was Tiafoe's reaction.

During the tie-break of the final set, the world number 17 was cautioned several times for going over time, losing his first service point at 5-5.

After losing the last two points and thus the match, he totally lost his nerve, directly insulting the referee (see video below).

Causing disgrace to Tennis. Should be banned for life

@L R this comment section suggests otherwise, not particularly much hate. I don’t hate Tiafoe, I think he just let his emotions get the better of him here, he definitely deserves the large fine coming his way though.

@L R
I didn't watched the match, so I'm curious "what it's really about"?

People will come down extremely hard on Tiafoe. They will say it’s cuz of his behavior…ONLY!!!! But interestingly when another player does the same thing, the response from people is different. So, yeah let’s keep pretending how most people will respond is not about what it’s really about!!!!!

I can’t tell if you are insinuating racism here? I personally disagree. Until recently Tiafoe was one of the more popular guys on tour, but after his disrespectful comments about lower ranked players, essentially calling them nobodies, his popularity has plummeted. People come down hard on because they don’t like him anymore and unfortunately that’s only Frances’ fault

Someone had to play the race card.

I propose the following changes to the rules:

1...a walķover will not be a loss. We have no control of player's health. If he or she is entered in a contest we expect them to play.

2...an incomplete match is not a loss. If a player forfeits we pick another match if there are more to choose.

3...this also applies if TT cancels a match. TT will not take hours to decide an outcome.

How about leavin...

It's a shame that so many matches are being canceled. TT ,you are destroying your game ,and thereby killing your app. I don't know how many matches others have had canceled , but I'm at 3 and it's only thursday.

As a long time player and lover of this game , I don't know how much of this I can tolerate. For example I waited hours last night for you to confirm my win and post my points. Every ot...

This week I have used all my formulas and best guesses to try to achieve the high score jimandlori958 set in our last competition. I am two games short because of cancelations and I need all wins to get there.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Grenier and Hsu at the Kobe tournament? The match was played to completion and on time.

An impressive win.. Congrats to our winner this week, jimandlori958 and with a score that could not be caught or matched. I don't remember a 56 in a while with our group. Nice to see everyone using the 2 point predictions. Can't win without 'em.
