Jordan Thompson has lashed officials for a scheduling clash that left his coach having to watch another charge while the Australian was carving out the biggest win of his grand slam career.
Thompson ousted Polish seventh seed Hubert Hurkacz 7-6 (7-2) 6-1 7-5 in the biggest upset of the US Open thus far to storm into the last 32 in New York for a second time.
But the 30-year-old was filthy his coach, one-time Australian No.1 Marinko Matosevic, had to choose between watching him and fellow Sydneysider Chris O'Connell, who he also mentors.
