Olympian1010 7,470 Posted January 27 #51 Share Posted January 27 Imagine going through all the qualifications to become a tennis umpire, only to be shown the bird by a 13 year-old Hopefully this is a learning experience for the kid. I didn’t share the clip to poke fun a him. I vividly remember flipping off parents during high school cross country races, but thankfully those weren’t as public as this. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Monzanator 3,593 Posted January 27 #52 Share Posted January 27 The problem is the ball was clearly out and not called no matter it was on the far side of the chair. Some of these tennis umpires in junior tournaments make big mistakes also forgetting what the game score is among others. So yeah, even a 13 year old can lose his temper when the umpire makes such an obvious error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, even a 13 year old can lose his temper when the umpire makes such an obvious error. Especially a 13-year old, I'd even say But since I assume he wants to eventually be a pro player, he does need to learn that you can't do this, no matter how clear the umpire mistake was. At least controlling your temper to some basic extent is part of being a professional as well.
