Frances Tiafoe called out what he believes is an inconsistency in tennis rulings after his four-set defeat to Lorenzo Musetti on Tuesday, during which a frustrated Musetti kicked a tennis ball, which then hit a line judge. Musetti risked a potential disqualification from the match when the ball hit the line judge with the Italian up a set over Tiafoe. Instead, Musetti was issued a warning by the chair umpire.

Tiafoe called it comical that Musetti wasn't disqualified.
