Tennis tantrums: where else would we go for all our non-Kanye West-related voyeurism concerning men behaving like little children? Man, even a kid would probably hold back more than this dude!
In The Realm Of Sporting Tantrums, This Guy Is Up There With The Best Ever!
#1 He’s A Grown Man…
Tennis tantrums: where else would we go for all our non-Kanye West-related voyeurism concerning men behaving like little children? Man, even a kid would probably hold back more than this dude!
Admittedly, Wimbledon is kind of a big deal in the tennis world, but Sebian Victor Troicki went way overboard with this (it must be said) horrible verbal attack of Italian umpire, Damiano Torella.
#2 A Bad Day At The Office
We get it dude, you were having a bad day at the office. I mean, it happens to the best of us. It's just that our "office" isn't in front of the tennis watching world and we take our frustrations out with alcohol or boxing classes.
There were a few occasions during the match against Spaniard Albert Ramos-Viñolas where Troicki lost his shit, much to his opponents pleasure.
#3 Look At It!
This was the point where the Serbian first demanded that the official look at the ball as if that may prove where it landed. "Look at it" he yelled. "Come on, please look at it, please. Look at it."
Things started getting in to real John McEnroe territory pretty soon, as the tantrum really started to kick in
#4 This Will Help…
It's amazing that at a time like this, in front of a few thousand people in a stadium and who knows how many more on television (then of course, the millions who see it when the footage goes viral), that at no stage does one think to ask themselves "Am I acting like a reasonable adult person, here, or am I being an absolute dickhead?"
Troicki hits the balls in to the crowd as though that might help his situation, then screams at the umpire; "You're the worst umpire in the world. What are you doing? Did you see the ball? You're so bad."
#5 What Would You Do?
"Do you know what you did? You're horrible. What are you doing? What are you doing? Tell me what are you doing? What are you doing there?" Troicki screamed again when he had officially lost the match.
"You're the worst ever. Do you know what you did? You're an idiot." He then marched in to the officials room to complain. We hope he feels better soon
What would you do if you were the umpire? I think he's entitled to at least a free kick to the groin. Decide fro yourself
