Denis Shapovalov

Even before the Australian Open began, 20-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic was deported. Now, Canadian tennis star Denis Shapovalov slammed the umpire as “corrupt” in his match against another 20-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal. Nadal won, but not before Denis Shapovalov made a huge comeback from two sets down. In the end, Nadal won 6-3, 6-4, 4-6, 3-6, 6-3.

As the match was intense and full of emotions, the Canadian tennis star felt that Nadal should have been given a time violation for taking so much time while serving. The umpire present at the Rod Laver Court, Carlos Bernardes, had a different opinion. Shapovalov shouted, “You guys are all corrupt!” at the umpire. After that, both players talked and shook hands as they worked out their differences.
