The scene that took place yesterday at the Futures de Sabadell was surreal, when the Russian player Svyatoslav Gulin insulted the referee by saying, "You, sucker!" He was consequently eliminated, but it seems that it didn't end there. In a subsequent interview with a Russian media, he claimed that after leaving the court, he went after the referee and grabbed him by the neck. Although he expressed regret in the same interview, mentioning that the emotions of the match got the best of him.
