SAD NEWS:Stefanos Tsitsipas Turns Down $4.7Million Deal offer Due to.... Tempers continued to flare at the Shanghai Masters this week after Greek tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas refused to play while carrying on a minutes-long rant directed at a chair umpire. During Wednesday’s Round of 16 match against rival Daniil Medvedev, Tsitsipas lashed out at umpire Fergus Murphy during the second set when he lost his first serve after being issued a time violation. Paraphrase "Why are you doing this to me, man? I’m the most consistent player on the tour," Tsitsipas said. But Murphy didn’t back down. "Just listen, it might help if you listen," Murphy said. "The clock starts automatically, so you really have to keep watching the clock. I have no control over that." Paraphrase But Tsitsipas was unrelenting. "Why are you guys against me suddenly? I don't understand," Tsitsipas said. "The last few months have been terrible. I don’t understand what I did to you." "You have never played tennis in your life. You have no clue about tennis, it seems like," Tsitsipas said, taking a personal shot at Murphy. "Definitely you’ve had no career. You probably played serve-and-volley every single time. Anyways, tennis is a physical sport, and we need some time over there. You have to show some compassion because you aren’t showing any.
