Russian tennis player Andrei Rublev was disqualified during the semi-final match at the ATP-500 series tournament in Dubai. Sports.ru reports this.
During a meeting with the representative of Kazakhstan, Alexander Bublik, Rublev insulted the line referee for making a decision that was not in his favor. He called the judge a moron and used an obscene word in Russian. After this, another lineman, who speaks Russian, conveyed Rublev’s words to the judge on the tower. As a result, the Russian was removed from the match.
