Torque is cheap.
Launching a series of F-bombs at a Shanghai referee last month proved costly. Francis Tiafoe.
more: TC suspended Jon Wertheim.
The ATP fined Tiafoe $120,000 for verbally abusing a referee at the Rolex Shanghai Masters last month.
Tiafoe suffered a time violation in the third set tiebreaker, losing 5-7, 7-5, 7-6(5). Roman Safiullin.
An angry Tiafoe went crazy after the match, shaking hands with Safiulin and swearing at referee Jimmy Pinoargote.
“F— you! F— you!” Tiafoe lashed out at the referee. “Seriously, buddy. Fuck you! You fucked me out of the match!”
After being his f—ing monster, Tiafoe took to social media to apologize for his actions.
