Frances Tiafoe completely lost his composure at the ATP Shanghai after his match against Safiullin. The American basically blamed the chair umpire for his defeat, as he was given a warning at 5-5 in the final tie-break for a time violation, resulting in the loss of his first serve. Was the umpire right? If we review that moment, we see Tiafoe tosses the ball in the air when the time clock reaches zero, but it is clear that he does it to simulate the serve and avoid receiving the warning. In practical terms, the umpire correctly applied the rule, as the time clock reached zero before the American completed the serve.

Moment which led to Tiafoe lashing out on the umpire.

Umpire gave him time violation warning and took his first serve away.

He said ‘I’m not buying it, this is now second serve’

Tiafoe said ‘ I tossed the ball, this is the rule’
