Breaking News: Shapovalov Criticizes ATP Following Thompson’s Harrowing Fan Encounter at Cincinnati Open Due to…

 

Denis Shapovalov Criticizes ATP Again After New Fan Incident at the Cincinnati Open. Just two weeks ago, the Canadian was defaulted from the DC Open during his match against Ben Shelton following a verbal altercation with a spectator in the stands.
This time, the protagonist of the altercation was Jordan Thompson during his match against Ugo Humbert, as the Australian was attacked by a fan who allegedly had placed a bet on the Frenchman.

Shapovalov calls out lack of protection

A Twitter user who was present during the match on Court 4 recounted the incident firsthand: “Two fans in the front row of Thompson vs Humbert @CincyTennis have heckled Thompson twice now. First time Thompson was clearly agitated.”

“It seems like Thompson just complained. Chair umpire Mo Lahyani is trying to get their attention to signal for them to quiet down. The two young men seem to be avoiding eye contact with him. Hopefully, they quiet down anyway.”
“It’s getting more heated. Thompson is directly interacting with them after a third roasting from the fans,” the user added shortly after. “Security is asking the man to quiet down or he will be thrown out. This is at the changeover 6-3, 2-5 with Humbert leading. For a second time, the man in the white shirt mentioned having a bet on Humbert and argued his case.”

“I want to see Nick Kyrgios, not Jordan Thompson!” the spectator finally said before leaving the match, which Thompson ended up winning in a third-set tie-break.
Later, Denis Shapovalov commented on the post on X, calling out the ATP for not protecting Tour players. “So @atptour how long are we going to keep allowing these things to go on?” he wrote.

Seems like Thompson just complained. Chair umpire Mo Lahyani trying to get their attention to signal for them to quiet down. The two young men seem to be avoiding eye contact with him. Hopefully they quiet down anyway.

Humbert djoko-smashes into the net. White shirt man “check hawk eye here.” this is an example of his frowned upon comments.
