Tennis star Denis Shapovalov aimed a foul-mouthed rant at spectators during his ill-tempered first-round match at the Italian Open.
Shapovalov, 23, took on Lorenzo Sonego in Rome, and ultimately prevailed in three sets. After taking the Canadian player took the first 7-6, the home favourite hit back to win the second 6-3.
However, the world No 14 got the decisive break in the decider to take that one 6-3, setting up a second round tie with Nikoloz Basilashvili. However, the post-match talk had little to do with the quality of the play on show following the Canadian's earlier outburst.
