Tennis Player Has Complete Meltdown, Uses His Racket as Weapon After Umpire’s Controversial Call

A dramatic meltdown during a French 🎾Tennis tournament merited a player a rare disqualification from competition.

Mikael Ymer was ejected following a meltdown in which he violently attacked an umpire’s viewing tower with his own 🎾Tennis racket.

Ymer was competing in the Lyon Open in France on Wednesday.

The Swedish national lost to Arthur Fils of 🇫🇷France in the second-round contest, according to Mediaite.

Ymer’s meltdown began after an umpire declined to call a return from Fils as out of bounds.

The poor sport began arguing the call with the umpire after he lost the point to Fils — with the referee responding that he couldn’t check the mark of a return that Ymer continued to play as if it were in bounds.

Should he have been allowed to keep playing?
