Among the world leaders in the 1/4 final match at the Masters in Rome Novak Djokovic and seventh seed Holger Rune A little scandal broke out in Denmark.
In the second set, Rune stopped one of the ties, believing the ball had gone out of bounds. Referee Mohamed Layani descended from the tower, studied the on-court signal, and confidently declared that the ball was on the court.
Rune summoned the chief to court and said that Layani was a “clown” and was “always the judge against him”. Earlier, Holger had filed a complaint against this referee at the tournament in Basel.
The stands booed the dancer, but the replay showed the ball was out of bounds.
The match was interrupted by rain and the score was 2:6, 5:4 (30-0) – Rune won the first set.
