Stan Wawrinka screams at umpire over 'fricking freezing water' in French Open defeat

Stan Wawrinka launched into an angry rant about the temperature of the water as he was dumped out of the French Open on Monday. The veteran lost his first-round clash with wildcard Correntin Moutet at Roland Garros.

Wawrinka took exception to the drinking water he was given during his defeat against the wildcard. He insisted that it was too cold and demanded that it be replaced.

But the replacement water was not up to the three-times Grand Slam champion's standard, either. Wawrinka angrily ranted at the umpire to get him some 'normal' water.

He raged: "It is not normal at a Grand Slam. Is that normal? Do you think it is normal? So you call someone. It has been three changeovers, I asked you for some water that is not fricking freezing.

"Because it is not good. You are at the French Open and you cannot get normal water! You think it is normal?"

The umpire can be seen arguing back at Wawrinka but his words are inaudible. Eurosport commentator Simon Reed defended the umpire, pointing out that the water is not their problem, and apologised to viewers for the language.

"No, it is not his problem - that is the thing, Stan," Reed said. "Sorry about the language, but maybe he is looking for a fight."

Wawrinka was beaten 2-6 6-3 7-6 (7-2) 6-3 and headed out of just his fourth tour-level tournament in 15 months. He gave a damning assessment of his performance in his post-match press conference.
