|
|

Kyrgios did his impersonation of the Spaniard in the second set after being penalized for taking too long to serve, brushing his hair back and picking at his shorts whilst looking in the direction of chair umpire Jaume Campistol, who chuckled along.
|
|
Already the outbursts had earned Kyrgios censure from the chair umpire, now they entirely broke what had seemed a quite unrealistically long spell of calm, and sent him into a spiral whose immediate result was the concession of a break and one smashed racquet.

|
|
It was the match of her life, but a match that will long be remembered for strife as the chair umpire Carlos Ramos took a hard line and handed down three code violations to Williams, docking her a point and then a game as she lost her cool on the same court where she has lost it before in high-stakes matches.
|
|
Yet her quest to secure that record-tying singles title remains just that: a quest, and her three-year, circuitous route back to the highest peaks of tennis — difficulties with childbirth; a confrontation with a chair umpire at the United States Open that set off debates about women, power and race; the surging tide of younger contenders — has arrived at a crossroads.
|
|
After Cilic hit a forehand passing shot winner to break his serve in the second game of the final set, Nadal took off his headband, walked to the other side of the net and informed the chair umpire Eva Asderaki-Moore and Cilic that he was retiring with Cilic leading by 3-6, 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-20113, 2-0.
