Frances Tiafoe directed an expletive-filled tirade at a chair umpire after losing his third-round match Tuesday at the ATP Shanghai Masters event.

Tiafoe lost to unseeded Roman Safiullin, 5-7, 7-5, 7-6 (5), minutes after Ecuadorian chair umpire Jimmy Pinoargote called a time violation on the 13th-seeded American's service.

After congratulating Safiullin at the net, Tiafoe pointed at Pinoargote and shouted, «F--- you man! F--- you! Seriously, man.

F--- you! You f---ed me out of the f---ing match!» Tiafoe initially protested with the final-set tiebreak tied at 5-5, when Pinoargote called him for the time violation, which cost the American his serve.
