Two male players in the Rome Masters quarreled fiercely, and the referee had to come to the court himself

This week, Fez defeated Tsitsipas for the fourth consecutive time. However, in the third round of the Rome Masters last Sunday, the two broke out in a fierce dispute, and even the referee needed to intervene in the mediation.

This game lasted for nearly two hours, Tsitsipas won the first set 6-2 first, but Fez, who was only 20 years old, scored two consecutive sets with excellent pre-net skills and sharp backhand victory, completed the reversal 6-4 and 6-2, and advanced to the fourth round.

The French young player was very excited throughout the game. After the game, the two players had a long exchange when they shook hands in front of the net, which looked like a dispute, and in the end the referee had to intervene and separate the two.

However, Fez clarified in a post-match interview that this is not a serious matter. In the interview, Fez explained about his conversation with Tsitsipas in front of the net: "I like him. He is a great guy and a great champion. He was a little nervous in the middle of the second set and his ball hit the direction of my body. But it was part of the game, nothing was wrong. I was just trying to find a way to fight.

"I used this as an excuse to put myself into the fight. Later he said he didn't hit me on purpose, and I told him 'I know', it's okay, everything is fine. I just need a motivation to fight. ”

Titsipas hit Fez in the game, who once thought it was intentional. But the Greek star immediately apologized afterwards and clarified that he did not intend.

The two had played in Barcelona not long ago in the quarterfinals. Titsipas played two in the first set due to a lower back injury, while Fez lost to the top seed in two sets in the semi-finals.

The No. 13 seed, who is likely to face Zverev in the fourth round on May 13, will compete with qualifier Gobas for a fourth round spot.

Roney expressed strong dissatisfaction with this, because it was the right time to change clothes when changing sides. The referee explained that Coramesana's jersey was "wet enough" and therefore approved his request. Subsequently, Coramesana also took the initiative to go to the front of the net to explain the matter to Rooney, and Rooney returned to the bottom line to continue the game.

Despite the controversy, Rooney still withstood the pressure and 3-6 6-3 6-4 reversed against Comesana and successfully advanced to the third round. In the 2023 Rome Masters, he reached the final but lost to Medvedev and missed the championship. Last year, he lost to Baes in the third round.
