The ATP Challenger Tour circuit was the setting today for an unfortunate incident. It occurred more specifically at the Challenger in Bonn, Germany: Hunter Reese, an experienced American doubles player, was the protagonist of an ugly situation. The umpire indicated that he had touched the net in the middle of a point (the match had just started, by the way), something that the tennis player vehemently protested at the end of the game, sarcastically clapping in the face of the umpire. The referee told him to stop doing that, and that's when Reese lost his temper. "Go to hell (Fuck you), don't tell me what to do". After calling the supervisor, these insults resulted in an immediate disqualification for Reese and his partner, the Briton Scott Duncan. A regrettable incident that we hope will not happen again.
