It’s embarrassing!” /> He added: «He should be fired on the spot. Get a new set of referees, these guys don’t know how to do s***. It's a joke.
Get rid of every single staff and start over. Everything. I will run the sport.
I could do 100 times a better job. Marketing. Everything.
You guys have no idea. None. You guys can’t even ref right.» In the first-set tie-break, Kyrgios smashed his racket, before profanity prompted Bernardes to issue him with a point penalty that saw him trail 6-3 — a double fault then gifted Sinner the first set.
