Victoria Azarenka rips chair umpire: ‘Have you ever played tennis?’ (Video)

Victoria Azarenka blasted the chair umpire during her relatively easy first-round victory over Lucie Hradecka at the U.S. Open on Tuesday.

Azarenka, who won in straight sets, was so upset over a line call at one point that she decided to walk over to the chair umpire and insult her knowledge of the sport.

“Have you ever played tennis?” the former world No. 1 asked. “You did? You probably weren’t very good.”

Victoria-Azarenka

That seems a bit harsh.

We have certainly seen worse outbursts directed toward the chair umpire at the U.S. Open in the past, but that was uncalled for. Questionable calls are a part of the game.
