A blown call by a chair umpire sparked a heated verbal altercation between two tennis players in a first-round match at the Citi Open in Washington D.C. on Tuesday. 62 Jordan Thompson hit a well-placed drop shot over the net. Ymer would go on to convert the match point, advancing to the next round of the tournament and sending the Aussie packing. After the match, the chair official intervened to separate the two players, who had engaged in another verbal altercation at the net. Thompson had to be restrained by the chair umpire as the altercation got hostile.
