Rublev is disqualified after his leaden outburst in Dubai!
Andrey Rublev was disqualified this Friday in the semi-finals of the ATP 500 Dubai. He was trailing 6/5 to Bublik in the 3rd set after 2h19 of play. The Russian then verbally attacked a linesman with whose announcement he disagreed.
Rublev approached the linesman and shouted in English very close to his face: "How can you make such a mistake?! How!?". But it was apparently a phrase in Russian that escaped the microphones that was the main cause of his disqualification. Another linesman present around the court was a Russian speaker and came to report to the supervisor a very insulting phrase by Rublev towards his colleague.
