sport news Stan Wawrinka loses it and screams at umpire because his water was TOO COLD in ... trends now
Stan Wawrinka has been dumped out of the French Open by a local wildcard, but not before putting on a massive tantrum for the crowd include spitting the dummy about the temperature of the water he was being served.
The Swiss three-time grand slam winner recently had surgery on his left foot and is on the comeback trail at this year's Roland Garros tournament, where he claimed victory in 2015. It was just his fifth tour-level match in 15 months.
However, his comeback ambitions were quickly doused by French wildcard Corentin Moutet who triumphed 2-6 6-3 7-6 (7-2) 6-3 and will now face the huge task of playing Rafa Nadal - who knocked out Aussie Jordan Thompson in the opening round.
Wawrinka's tennis was clearly rusty and his frustrations boiled over when he was dished up 'freezing cold' water.
'It is not normal at a grand slam,' he said to the umpire.
'Is that normal? Do you think it is normal?
'So you call someone. It has been three changeovers, I asked you for some water that is not fricking freezing.
'Because it is not good. You are at the French Open and you cannot get normal water! You think it is normal?'
Wawrinka was not impressed with the temperature of the water he was served up. Meanwhile, fans were not happy with the tennis he was serving up
Eurosport commentator Simon Reed had little sympathy for Wawrinka.
'No, it is not his problem - that is the thing, Stan,' Reed said.
'Sorry about the language, but maybe he is looking for a fight.'
While the commentator might not have been in a forgiving mood, several fans pointed out that athletes asking for room temperature water during matches was not uncommon.
