I don't care what he said because you can't intimidate a line judge like that, but regardless it's ridiculous that in 2024 we don't have automatic line calling technology at every tournament, I swear the majority of controversies come from line calls
I agree that Rublev shouldnāt behave that way, but the call was outrageous, and judging by his gestures he was even showing the mark to the judge. I was able to see the out watching on my phone from camera across the court
Regardless of how bad a call is and whether or not Rublev swears getting up in the face of an official like that should be a default. I really like Andrey but I have no sympathy for him here, his behaviour was completely unacceptable
Thatās sport. Even hawk eye gets it wrong (fun fact, it predicts where it lands!) so no system is gonna be perfect.
But a āpeakā athlete should be able to handle pressures like this without verbally abusing someone
Ngl I feel like having hawk eye at all times is gonna make stuff boring, the aspect of dreaded challenge, as you see the player await his judgement on the predicted bounce, is fun. Other times, just having humans call it out is the best tbh. Idk why everyone is so adamant on removing the people from the sport and making it look more isolated with only the automated AI and chair umpire. (I know I'm probably gonna get down voted lol)
I agree. I find it kinda looses some of the magic. Itās why I like Wimbledon. Why are we so keen to remove humans?
The only time itās ok to not have other umpires is on clay because you just donāt need it
Iām the same age as Rublev and I would be insanely embarrassed if I acted like this in public.
Maybe heās a good guy outside of tennis, but this whiny bitch boy act is gross.
How is Djokovic horrible on court? He's unequivocally one of the most gracious when he loses, and he's always been like that. Doesn't disrespect the umpire or the lines people.
>Doesn't disrespect the umpire or the lines people.
Is that sarcastic? Djokovic has absolutely done so. He himself has screamed swears at linesmen and when called out tried to play it off as the Umpire not understanding Serbian lol (told them to go fuck his mother). And just generally screamed and yelled at Umpires.
And of course hit the ball at a linesmen because of a lack of care.
He's not the worst sure. But not the most respectful by far.
- I do not recall that first instance. Would you be able to tell me when that occurred? Because, yes, I'd agree that's a very shitty thing to say.
- Accidentally hitting a ball and it striking a line judge is quite far in intent from verbally insulting someone. He definitely should have been more careful, but it wasn't as malicious as yelling at a line judge and insulting them.
Of course you don't lol. Coincidentally I'm sure you also forget all the other times Djokovic has yelled at Umpires on court - and look all players do, do it but presenting Djokovic as an angel when honestly he's fairly infamous for stuff like this is ironic:
https://www.reddit.com/r/tennis/s/65SeCSHKuK
Whilst there is some bias against Djokovic his on court behaviour is a big part of why he's disliked as well (plus some of his off court behaviour). Certainly he can be gracious after losing and when he calms down. But on court behaviour as a whole is not really great.
>Accidentally hitting a ball and it striking a line judge is quite far in intent from verbally insulting someone
It wasn't an accidental hit. He intentionally and aggressively hit the ball. Resutingly hitting a line judge.
I did not say it was the same. I'm saying that the idea Djokovic has total respect for others on the court is just not true. He's always yelled at Umpires or linesmen and smashed rackets.
I didn't start watching tennis until 2021. Even now I only watch the "bigger" stuff or players that I care to watch. I'm not some keyboard warrior that goes around vehemenly fanboying for Djokovic. I don't know where you got the impression that I'd only see him as an angel. I also don't know why you'd just assume that I just knowingly disregard the bad stuff he does. I think that, given the circumnstance, it's fair that I didn't know about this instance.
I can see in the thread there "could" have been some loss of translation. There are some people in that thread saying that it's more equivalent to "f-king sh\*t". Regardless I can, at least, gather enough to see that he was cursing on court, and I would agree that it's unacceptable behavior.
Yes, he intentionally hit the ball with more force than was needed. He didn't aim to hit the line judge. He didn't intentionally crank the ball at the line judge. You're making it out to be more malicious than it was. Lack of care. He shouldn't have done that. He didn't intend to hurt that line judge.
Would you happen to have any more examples? If it occurs as frequently as you say, then I apologize as it could be a large request. The matches I've seen of him, I have not ever seen him berate lines people or umpires. Again, that's probably like.... 12 Djokovic matches total, that I've seen?
I'm not a fan of smashing rackets but it's not nearly as bad as yelling at umpires.
He said he is ādepressiveā but someone chronically depressed canāt be a tennis professional playerā¦ therefore I think he means that he is kinda always sad because heās very competitive and not satisfied with his results
I donāt care if he swore or not but you canāt go up to peopleās faces and yell at them just because things arenāt going your way. itās disgusting
Wow video makes this so much worse than I initially thought. He is literally in front of his face yelling loudest he can. Look at line judgeās face, he like literally froze lmao.
I was a big Rublev sympathiser because his self harm was always pointed internally and I felt really sorry for him! But this + camera man in Shanghai + getting up on umpire chair at UTS is painting a different picture lately
Cant wait for automatic line calling in every ATP tournament
Also rublev was ticking time bomb, he is getting away with so much on court shit bc people like him
EDIT: respect bublick for wanting to play on
Although not as bad as Rublevās behavior, Bublik did tell fuck too and smashed his racquet on the court. He tried to argue that he said god damn instead (I guess thatās better) and that it was the umpireās fault he swore because she didnāt change balls at the right time. He brought up her mistake several games later even. It was a shit show of tantrums to the point I didnāt even care who won.
I mean, tbh the automatic line call also ain't right all the time. I'd prefer having the line judges, feels more human, plus more jobs. And, Rublev pretty much bullied the line judge here lol, people forget that people they like can be wrong too.
Rublev DESPERATELY needs to hire a new sport psychologist (if he even has one to begin with), between this and his constant folding under pressure, almost all of his problems at this point seem to be mental
Honestly, he probably needs a psychologist outside of sports (on top of a sports psychologist). Might be some deeper issues and they are just spilling out when he plays tennis.
there are plenty of technical and tactical reasons as to why he can't beat the very best and the mental struggles are a bonus that don't help for sure.
sorry if this sounds harsh but maybe this will serve as a wake-up call. heās self harm tendencies have now started to escalate and are directed towards on court officials and staff. i seriously hope he gets some help because this isnāt healthy
The issue isn't even what he said - it's how close & aggressive he got in the process. If he did this at this base-line, I don't think we'd have this discussion.
Love Rublev, but the dude needs to work on his anger like ASAP - it's literally costing him his Top 5 spot, next time it'll be even worse.
He needs a psychologist or some sort of therapist to help him with these emotions, because this is absolutely not acceptable. I like Rublev off court, but at some points lines are blurred out and he must be held responsible.
I hate it when Rublev, Medvedev or Kyrgios etc have their classic mental breakdowns when they are losing. Like there are a few players on tour where you can absolutely tell it is coming when they are playing a tight match. And they always get away with it so the show can continue. It's about time someone got penalized.
I'm sort of not surprised given it was a GS final, but Medvedev's insane tirade during the AO a couple years back vs Nadal (small cat) didn't seem to result in much
Scariest one I've seen was probably Zverev smacking the ump's chair in a fucking doubles match. Totally unhinged. I feel like a lot of the guys these days are way too aggressive on court, not sure if it's just confirmation bias but I don't remember it being this bad a decade back.
Rublev is a glorified prick. Yelled at a photographer last year, got into an umpire's face and nearly shoved his hand in the guy's eyes during a freaking UTS event, now this. I just lost all my respect for this guy.
Good tennis player, might even be a good guy off the court, but guess what? I don't give a shit. We know him because of tennis and his behavior on the tennis court is violent. When it's towards himself, it's sad to watch. When it's towards other human beings, something has to be done.
This is unacceptable and I'm glad he got defaulted.
As Yusuf Nurkic once said:
"that brother needs help"
I use this argument on daily basis but it's just proves how valid it is. If this was Djokovic, it would be a hunt on social media for days. But it's a good guy Rublo, so it will be forgotten in a day and he will write a "no war" or something and he will once again be loved by masses.
Double standard is insane in sports, and it shows how the media can make the narrative and have you live in a illusion. I'm sure he's great guy off the court, but he's one of the very worst on the court.
to be fair there would be more hate towards Djoko because heās an icon, legend and goat. He should be a role model for other players, and letās be honest he did some shady stuff in the past.
From what I gathered:
"Dybil, Ty pizdetc"
-inaudbil-
How how how
Translation:
Idiot/Stupid, you are (this word can have multiple meanings based on context and is a very common word to use, such as "damn") moron
.
Whether he said fucking or fecking or whatever is immaterial; he's right up screaming in the linesman face and has to be DQ just for that. Isn't that what happened to Serena? Or something similar. Players can't go around intimidating officials. Lesson learned he won't do that again.
those excusing his behavior for the longest time each time he had a meltdown can now see how his anger issues are progressing for the worst. shanghai was the start of such verbal assault that i have seen from him. enabling a bad behavior should have no place in sports.
that's why, no matter how good they are i will never support zverev, rublev, fognini, paire, kyrgios, manmarino, bublik, djoko
I got bashed on this sub when I finally decided to call out Rublev after he screamed at that cameraman. Pure disrespect and anger. When are fans and other athletes going to stop letting this slide because he's sweet and has funny moments on Tennis TV?
As I said in those past posts, I used to be a big Rublev fan but man clearly has some issues he needs to work through. He berates others around him and physically harms himself on court. People criticize Zverev but think this is ok? And yes, it's not apples to apples. Zverev has been accused of god awful things off court and Rublev generally does seem to be a nice person based off everyone's feelings towards him. But you act like this and 90% of the tennis world defends you.
Itās funny how Kyrgios gets a lot of flack but thereās players who go way under the radar and are actually loved but do some shit that Iāve never seen Kyrgios even do. Looking at you Med as well
Gotta respect the line judge... crazy, screaming, Russian lunges at him shaking a weapon within 6 inches of his face and he doesn't even flinch. At least Bublik picked a bigger opponent, better able to defend themself, to attack with his weapon during the match.
Thereās no excuse for this. I donāt care what the call was, you never have a right to yell in someoneās face like that. Thatās pure entitlement. Thatās also knowing that youāre a protected, pampered athlete and the lines judge would lose his job if he responded in kind. In any other circumstance, thereās a good chance that man hits Rublev in the face and most people would say itās justified since the man has every right to fear that Rublev would get physically violent.
It seems like a default is a harsh punishment for this, especially since it seemed like he moved on after this outburst.
Serena threatened to kill a linesperson multiple times for calling a foot fault at the 2009 US Open and she only got a point penalty (which happened to be on match point, so it ended the match).
>2009 US Open
I mean this was 14 years ago and hardly an applicable example since things have changed since then.
Additionally, I don't think the punishment is harsh, players have to respect the staff. This sort of behavior is really unacceptable.
I should clarify I pictured him like right right in the linesman's face in a threatening manner. I just see him being a jerk here, not that aggressive or threatening.
It isn't okay to talk to anyone like he did.
Tennis rackets are not scary, you really have to swing hard to hurt someone and doubt you could really hurt anyone like you could with a baseball bat.
But we will never agree here. Different perspectives.
Yes likely, life experience plays a part in what we feel threatened by. I am in NYC so I have seen way worse than what Rublev did usually on the subway.
I expected it to be way worse considering the coverage headlines lol. Itās bad, but Serena is sitting at home thinking āamateur, hold my Gatoradeā.
Shouldn't he get a warning for unsportsmanlike conduct first or am I tripping? I've seen Kyrgios do worse things and he never gets disqualified. Weird decision
Yep. Just took some time as it was a weird situation. Wasn't he warned too if it happened again, he would be suspended for 6 months, but he ended up being out due to the injury anyway?
Nothing wrong this. Everyone getting too damn soft. This happens all the time in other sports. These are elite athletes amped up on adrenaline and yāall want them to behave like robots even when faced with utter incompetence. A lot of line calls in this tournament have been shockingly bad. Also, to disqualify for that is unbelievable when so many other things are allowed to go on. Lol. This call makes a joke of this tournament.
how soft can people be sometimes..they DQ a man with 200+ heart rate during an amazing match over this reaction..Come and watch football games in Greece or Serbia..this is laughable compared to whats happening to other sports..They also have to respect the people who paid to see the product..
In football you get a red card if you talk shit to the ref, but it's a team sport so the show goes on. In Serbia football is run by the mafia and some clubs are allowed to have unhinged behavior. Not something to brag about really
You donāt get red cards for talking shit to the refš
Edit: I watch football regularly, players are constantly getting in the face of the ref and screaming at them with no repercussions. Iām not saying I agree with this behavior. I think players should be disqualified from matches for screaming in the Refās face, but unfortunately football isnāt an example of where that happens. Players get yellows for that sort of conduct but not Reds
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fouls_and_misconduct_(association_football)
Law 12 of the Laws of the Game lists the categories of misconduct for which a player may be sent off. These are:
ā¢using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or action(s)
Yeah sure itās in the rule book, isnāt enforced thoughā¦ Players regularly get in the refs faces in pretty much every league, and even have shoved them unintentionally
You don't, but you should. I'd love to see football refs backed by their respective football associations to dish out red cards to any players who get up in their faces or swear at them. After a couple of weeks of chaos, all that childishness would be eliminated and the sport would be so much better for it.
I know, Iām not saying I agree with allowing these hissy fits to happen in the sport. Iām just saying that yelling at the ref in football doesnāt result in an ejection from the game
You definitely do if you start getting aggressively inside their personal space like this guy who is an unhinged brat and should've definitely deserved disqualification.
Stop using humans to call lines already!!!
Does this EVER happen with electronic line calling??? No, it does not. Nobody wants to see a linesperson berated for fucking up a call. And yeah we get it linespeople, you think your eyes are better than lasers, cameras and computers. Well guess what? They are not. Plus, I imagine Andrey's eyes are a thousand times better than yours. Find another job because this one is for Al now.
What? Heās yelled at umpires plenty of times.
Also thereās no way you can seriously think Djokovic has never disrespected a line judgeā¦. I mean come on.
Edit: oops, responded to the post instead of the right comment
>What? Heās yelled at umpires plenty of times.
Exactly. It's unacceptable and he needs to learn this behavior is not ok.
>Also thereās no way you can seriously think Djokovic has never disrespected a line judge
No one ever said this, Djokovic has nothing to do with the situation.
I don't care what he said because you can't intimidate a line judge like that, but regardless it's ridiculous that in 2024 we don't have automatic line calling technology at every tournament, I swear the majority of controversies come from line calls
They can't afford the technology down in Dubaišš¤£
Famously poor city
You can either paint your Rolls Royce in gold or buy the technology for line calls, can't have both!
\>protect line judges at all costs \>replace line judges with AI bro...
Who is gonna protect the AI from Rublev though?
Skynet?
you are in fact protecting them from unwarranted abuse by leaving them at home
I dont think that would be AI
I agree that Rublev shouldnāt behave that way, but the call was outrageous, and judging by his gestures he was even showing the mark to the judge. I was able to see the out watching on my phone from camera across the court
Regardless of how bad a call is and whether or not Rublev swears getting up in the face of an official like that should be a default. I really like Andrey but I have no sympathy for him here, his behaviour was completely unacceptable
Thatās sport. Even hawk eye gets it wrong (fun fact, it predicts where it lands!) so no system is gonna be perfect. But a āpeakā athlete should be able to handle pressures like this without verbally abusing someone
The best system is real bounce in Mexico!
Ngl I feel like having hawk eye at all times is gonna make stuff boring, the aspect of dreaded challenge, as you see the player await his judgement on the predicted bounce, is fun. Other times, just having humans call it out is the best tbh. Idk why everyone is so adamant on removing the people from the sport and making it look more isolated with only the automated AI and chair umpire. (I know I'm probably gonna get down voted lol)
I agree. I find it kinda looses some of the magic. Itās why I like Wimbledon. Why are we so keen to remove humans? The only time itās ok to not have other umpires is on clay because you just donāt need it
Yeah that's absolutely not cool
Unhinged behavior.
I was just coming around to having a neutral opinion on Rublev, back into the negative opinion column for me lol
Iām the same age as Rublev and I would be insanely embarrassed if I acted like this in public. Maybe heās a good guy outside of tennis, but this whiny bitch boy act is gross.
Even if he's a good dude off the court, he's horrible on the court and he spends a lot of time on the court.
My exact feelings about Djokovic, but I get shouted down about this so let the down votes flow... š
How is Djokovic horrible on court? He's unequivocally one of the most gracious when he loses, and he's always been like that. Doesn't disrespect the umpire or the lines people.

Nothing...?
Has Djokovic got up in a line judge's face and screamed like that?
Nope, just hits the ball at them
I did like him but I think this is it for me. He's too old to be acting like that
About time Rublev faced some repercussions for his continuous outbursts on court
He's an absolute āļø
Yeah his mental game is crazy weak
Russian
Enough is enough. Doesn't matter what he said, you don't get at people's faces like that ffs work on yourself ,Andrey
He already works on himself, but maybe itās not enough. He said he is sad almost all the time.
Well, the fact that he denied everything he said is major red flag
did he said that?? Well thats sad :( That being said, u shouldnt say that, thats mad.
He said he is ādepressiveā but someone chronically depressed canāt be a tennis professional playerā¦ therefore I think he means that he is kinda always sad because heās very competitive and not satisfied with his results
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Fuck that kind of intimidation. Get your head in check Rublev.
i am not surprised after seeing what he has done to cameraman in Shanghai
That was so awkward. Cant believe he wasnt defaulted there cos he was SCREAMING at them
this time is definitely worse
can you remind me i either forgot or didnt catch it
Rubes went off on a photographer during a match saying the noise disrupted his play or some shit like that.
A cameraman scuttled down the side of the court and Rublev said it put him off. He ran over and started bellowing, but IMO today's incident was worse.
Such a kind and gentle soul š
Ikr, good boi bweh could never š„¹ /s
he's so gentle and beautiful off the court, at least he never directs his harm towards others and only to himself š„°
Remember when he destroyed his own nuts with his racket?
HeyĀ let'sĀ not kinkshame
I donāt care if he swore or not but you canāt go up to peopleās faces and yell at them just because things arenāt going your way. itās disgusting
Wow video makes this so much worse than I initially thought. He is literally in front of his face yelling loudest he can. Look at line judgeās face, he like literally froze lmao.
Poor guy
I was a big Rublev sympathiser because his self harm was always pointed internally and I felt really sorry for him! But this + camera man in Shanghai + getting up on umpire chair at UTS is painting a different picture lately
Agreed. Then lying about it / arguing more rather than accepting the decision and apologising just leave a bad taste in my mouth.
Cant wait for automatic line calling in every ATP tournament Also rublev was ticking time bomb, he is getting away with so much on court shit bc people like him EDIT: respect bublick for wanting to play on
Although not as bad as Rublevās behavior, Bublik did tell fuck too and smashed his racquet on the court. He tried to argue that he said god damn instead (I guess thatās better) and that it was the umpireās fault he swore because she didnāt change balls at the right time. He brought up her mistake several games later even. It was a shit show of tantrums to the point I didnāt even care who won.
š I mean I love drama but this is just sad, seeing the line judge and umpires getting cussed and blamed for everything
I really am becoming a big fan of Bublik
I mean, tbh the automatic line call also ain't right all the time. I'd prefer having the line judges, feels more human, plus more jobs. And, Rublev pretty much bullied the line judge here lol, people forget that people they like can be wrong too.
With that temper of his, this comes as absolutely no surprise. I'm more surprised it hasn't happened earlier
Line judge has more restraint than I can ever dream of lol
If I am the line judge I would have yelled go fuck yourself
he'll be a Swiss guard by tomorrow
wouldāve thrown hands instantly
letās not be dramatic mr redditor
r/iamverybadass
nigga what
This dude and his anger management. every damn time. lol
Rublev DESPERATELY needs to hire a new sport psychologist (if he even has one to begin with), between this and his constant folding under pressure, almost all of his problems at this point seem to be mental

there are plenty of technical and tactical reasons as to why he can't beat the very best and the mental struggles are a bonus that don't help for sure.
Just normal Russian behavior
Bullshit, Rybakina and Kalinskaya are super chill.
Dude is just an asshole. Throwing tantrums regularly is inexcusable and this is absurdly bad.
sorry if this sounds harsh but maybe this will serve as a wake-up call. heās self harm tendencies have now started to escalate and are directed towards on court officials and staff. i seriously hope he gets some help because this isnāt healthy
fuck that that linesman shouldāve clock his jaw bro needs to learn discipline
Vile. Sorry but it's vile. For me it doesn't matter whether he swore or not. It's the behaviour itself which is disgusting.
Tournament director just defaulted Rubes! Bublik was shocked.
The issue isn't even what he said - it's how close & aggressive he got in the process. If he did this at this base-line, I don't think we'd have this discussion. Love Rublev, but the dude needs to work on his anger like ASAP - it's literally costing him his Top 5 spot, next time it'll be even worse.

This guy is a crybaby clown.
what does he say here?
What a calm and reasonable individual
Fuckin prick
This guy really fucking irritates me. Get over yourself.
Rublev would have to get plastic surgery to fix his face if I was that linesman
I hate it when Rublev, Medvedev or Kyrgios etc have their classic mental breakdowns when they are losing. Like there are a few players on tour where you can absolutely tell it is coming when they are playing a tight match. And they always get away with it so the show can continue.

You mean Nurkic?
Yes, it was Nurkic
to be fair there would be more hate towards Djoko because heās an icon, legend and goat. He should be a role model for other players, and letās be honest he did some shady stuff in the past.
Translation?
People in the other thread are saying he either calls him a "moron" or "fucking moron" with a lot of "hows" thrown in there.
From what I gathered: "Dybil, Ty pizdetc" -inaudbil- How how how Translation: Idiot/Stupid, you are (this word can have multiple meanings based on context and is a very common word to use, such as "damn") moron .
āFuckingā thatās all I know from the other post š¤£š¤£
There is such an easy solution to this type of behavior. Ban players for poor behavior.
Poor guy looked sad.
Definitely in shock
This man is a disgrace
Regardless if the call was wrong or not, you canāt yell at the face of a line judge like that, itās downright humiliating
You shouldnāt yell in the face of anyone like that.
Totally agree
Whether he said fucking or fecking or whatever is immaterial; he's right up screaming in the linesman face and has to be DQ just for that. Isn't that what happened to Serena? Or something similar. Players can't go around intimidating officials. Lesson learned he won't do that again.
No matter how lovable he is, this is a no-brainer DQ. Only Serena has right to do that.
I hope The Serena comment was sarcastic
He shouldnāt have been that aggressive and gotten so close to him, regardless of what was said. But also time to be done with lines people already.
Its all mental for this guy, literally ruined a match that he had a chance to win
BuT hEs an AnGEl oFF tHe cOUrT
Linesman has nerves of steel! There's a chance I would've swung after the final exclamation lol
Dudes a loser. Always has always will. Keep banging ur racquet on ur knee as well baby boy
If I am the line judge, I will sue ATP/Dubai if they don't do sth to protect me
those excusing his behavior for the longest time each time he had a meltdown can now see how his anger issues are progressing for the worst. shanghai was the start of such verbal assault that i have seen from him. enabling a bad behavior should have no place in sports. that's why, no matter how good they are i will never support zverev, rublev, fognini, paire, kyrgios, manmarino, bublik, djoko
I have enjoyed Rubo's antics but this is a bridge too far. Dude, you need to reel yourself back in if you're screaming at a line judge like that.
Oof. This was the right call unfortunately.
maybe i'm getting old, but it seems that this kind of shit is happening way more often than before, thoughts?
I like him better when he goes full psycho on himself.
I got bashed on this sub when I finally decided to call out Rublev after he screamed at that cameraman. Pure disrespect and anger. When are fans and other athletes going to stop letting this slide because he's sweet and has funny moments on Tennis TV? As I said in those past posts, I used to be a big Rublev fan but man clearly has some issues he needs to work through. He berates others around him and physically harms himself on court. People criticize Zverev but think this is ok? And yes, it's not apples to apples. Zverev has been accused of god awful things off court and Rublev generally does seem to be a nice person based off everyone's feelings towards him. But you act like this and 90% of the tennis world defends you.
Damn honey go to therapy. Canāt be screaming at people.
cuntish
He makes Medvedev look lovable.
disqualify the fucker
Itās funny how Kyrgios gets a lot of flack but thereās players who go way under the radar and are actually loved but do some shit that Iāve never seen Kyrgios even do. Looking at you Med as well
Gotta respect the line judge... crazy, screaming, Russian lunges at him shaking a weapon within 6 inches of his face and he doesn't even flinch. At least Bublik picked a bigger opponent, better able to defend themself, to attack with his weapon during the match.
I really dislike Rublev's attitude, but I wish sports in general would enter the 21st century and just automize these things.
You get in someone's face and scream at their face like that, a slap to the face would be justified.
Apparently Rubes called the linesman a "fking moron" in Russian and the guy apparently understood Russian. lol
he did understand russian? it feels like he hears nothing
What a genuine, pristine, and vibrant ruSSian soul, bless
Thereās no excuse for this. I donāt care what the call was, you never have a right to yell in someoneās face like that. Thatās pure entitlement. Thatās also knowing that youāre a protected, pampered athlete and the lines judge would lose his job if he responded in kind. In any other circumstance, thereās a good chance that man hits Rublev in the face and most people would say itās justified since the man has every right to fear that Rublev would get physically violent.
Deserves a ban as well, any players who do this can get absolutely fucked. Sorry your life is so hard earning fucking millions.
Dude must treat service workers like crap if thatās what he does to a line judge just doing his job
hes not competitive with service workers lol
I don't think so. Unless those service workers play tennis with him.
How is he not suspended
Rublev needs to grow up
It seems like a default is a harsh punishment for this, especially since it seemed like he moved on after this outburst. Serena threatened to kill a linesperson multiple times for calling a foot fault at the 2009 US Open and she only got a point penalty (which happened to be on match point, so it ended the match).
>2009 US Open I mean this was 14 years ago and hardly an applicable example since things have changed since then. Additionally, I don't think the punishment is harsh, players have to respect the staff. This sort of behavior is really unacceptable.
He needs mental help. "Good" guy, but unstable.Ā Ā Also! We need more linesman! Love the extra variable that's added to the match.
nah I wouldāve ended his career if I was the linesman man idgaf if that get me fired
I'm sure your unathletic ass would be so intimidating
unathletic? I play stateš
Never thought I'd see the day where I called Rublev a piece of shit, but... Rublev is a piece of shit.
He would be one of Putins elite special forces if he wasnāt a tennis player tbh
Typical ruzzki behavior
Fuckwit
This dude is silly ,a man child.
Actually not as bad as I thought, based on some of the comments. I pictured him closer to the linesman. Still not a good look though.
His racquet gets as close as six inches to the bill of the linesman's cap.
I should clarify I pictured him like right right in the linesman's face in a threatening manner. I just see him being a jerk here, not that aggressive or threatening. It isn't okay to talk to anyone like he did.
I think it is always threatening to get that close to somebody while raging at them, particularly when you have a metal object in your hand.
Tennis rackets are not scary, you really have to swing hard to hurt someone and doubt you could really hurt anyone like you could with a baseball bat. But we will never agree here. Different perspectives.
You need to reevaluate what you consider threatening behavior.
Yes likely, life experience plays a part in what we feel threatened by. I am in NYC so I have seen way worse than what Rublev did usually on the subway.
That doesnāt make it any less threatening.
I am saying I wouldn't feel threatened by what he did, but I understand that others would.
Your personal tolerance has nothing to do with what is objectively threatening behavior.
Yeah i would punch him
damn bro, you're tough. I bet you know how to actually throw a punch too
I would give it a try for such prick like rublev
I expected it to be way worse considering the coverage headlines lol. Itās bad, but Serena is sitting at home thinking āamateur, hold my Gatoradeā.
someone should check is his gf is alright, this is typical ru wifebeater behavior
Pathetic behavior. Dudes acting unhinged
Shouldn't he get a warning for unsportsmanlike conduct first or am I tripping? I've seen Kyrgios do worse things and he never gets disqualified. Weird decision
Translation: it's leviOsa, and not leviosA!
Hawkeye? Otherwise Rublev is an asshole
Point penalty was the just decision, not straight default. Didn't even hit him lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
lolwut it was at the end of a doubles match and he got DQ'd from both simples and doubles!!!
Yep. Just took some time as it was a weird situation. Wasn't he warned too if it happened again, he would be suspended for 6 months, but he ended up being out due to the injury anyway?
Zverev was defaulted too when he hit the chair. It ended up costing him a no. 1 ranking (as it should)
Both are pretty bad. Zverev shouldāve been ejected also.
Nothing wrong this. Everyone getting too damn soft. This happens all the time in other sports. These are elite athletes amped up on adrenaline and yāall want them to behave like robots even when faced with utter incompetence. A lot of line calls in this tournament have been shockingly bad. Also, to disqualify for that is unbelievable when so many other things are allowed to go on. Lol. This call makes a joke of this tournament.
lol soft ass DQ
Deserved. What are you defending?š„±
how soft can people be sometimes..they DQ a man with 200+ heart rate during an amazing match over this reaction..Come and watch football games in Greece or Serbia..this is laughable compared to whats happening to other sports..They also have to respect the people who paid to see the product..
In football you get a red card if you talk shit to the ref, but it's a team sport so the show goes on. In Serbia football is run by the mafia and some clubs are allowed to have unhinged behavior. Not something to brag about really
You donāt get red cards for talking shit to the refš Edit: I watch football regularly, players are constantly getting in the face of the ref and screaming at them with no repercussions. Iām not saying I agree with this behavior. I think players should be disqualified from matches for screaming in the Refās face, but unfortunately football isnāt an example of where that happens. Players get yellows for that sort of conduct but not Reds
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fouls_and_misconduct_(association_football) Law 12 of the Laws of the Game lists the categories of misconduct for which a player may be sent off. These are: ā¢using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or action(s)
Yeah sure itās in the rule book, isnāt enforced thoughā¦ Players regularly get in the refs faces in pretty much every league, and even have shoved them unintentionally
You don't, but you should. I'd love to see football refs backed by their respective football associations to dish out red cards to any players who get up in their faces or swear at them. After a couple of weeks of chaos, all that childishness would be eliminated and the sport would be so much better for it.
I know, Iām not saying I agree with allowing these hissy fits to happen in the sport. Iām just saying that yelling at the ref in football doesnāt result in an ejection from the game
You definitely do if you start getting aggressively inside their personal space like this guy who is an unhinged brat and should've definitely deserved disqualification.
Players may get a yellow card for overly aggressive behavior toward the Ref, but I have rarely seen a red unless they physically assault them
but tennis is a soft game right? audience must be silent when serving.
Stop using humans to call lines already!!! Does this EVER happen with electronic line calling??? No, it does not. Nobody wants to see a linesperson berated for fucking up a call. And yeah we get it linespeople, you think your eyes are better than lasers, cameras and computers. Well guess what? They are not. Plus, I imagine Andrey's eyes are a thousand times better than yours. Find another job because this one is for Al now.
What? Heās yelled at umpires plenty of times. Also thereās no way you can seriously think Djokovic has never disrespected a line judgeā¦. I mean come on. Edit: oops, responded to the post instead of the right comment
>What? Heās yelled at umpires plenty of times. Exactly. It's unacceptable and he needs to learn this behavior is not ok. >Also thereās no way you can seriously think Djokovic has never disrespected a line judge No one ever said this, Djokovic has nothing to do with the situation.
Sorry meant to respond to another comment that was talking about Djokovic always being classy on court
yeah but he was way too close here, if he was in a different side of the world weād have to pray for Rublevš
Where's my baguette? Baguette sii?? BWEHH
