Wimbledon Player Issued Violation For Un-British Display Of Emotion
LONDONReceiving the warning shortly after first-round matches got underway at Wimbledon, tennis player Daniil Medvedev was issued a code violation Monday for an un-British display of emotion.Code violation, Medvedev, for verbally expressing frustration, said chair umpire Oliver Gladwin-Taylor, reminding both players that they must keep things stoic after Medvedev audibly sighed and slightly shook his head following a double fault. If you maintain a stiff upper lip as the rules dictate, I wont have to make that call. Even now, I can tell by looking at you that you are not happy with the code violation, and if you dont return to a neutral facial expression, I will have no choice but to penalize you a point. I suggest you carry on with your chin held high, keeping your emotional state buried deep, deep inside. I expect a dry, laconic match from here on out. This isnt the French Open.At press time, witnesses confirmed a member of the crowd had to be removed from the stadium for clapping too enthusiastically.The post Wimbledon Player Issued Violation For Un-British Display Of Emotion appeared first on The Onion.
