Google News Roland Garros: Yoshihito Nishioka is furious: "It's bullshit!"
by LORENZO CIOTTI
A great battle on the Simonne-Mathieu between Yoshihito Nishioka and Thiago Seyboth Wild, who are giving their all to reach the second week in the Parisian Grand Slam tournament. The fight is heated and a decision by the chair umpire suddenly enraged one of the two players.
In fact, the Japanese warmed up and not a little during the crucial phase of the second set at the Roland Garros. What's happened? The athlete angrily protested a call from the referee, who ruled Nishioka's winning forehand out.
The chair umpire came down to check the score and didn't change his choice to assign the point to the Brazilian. The 27-year-old flew into a rage, went straight to the other side of the pitch and continued to complain, trying to get the referee to reconsider the decision: "This is bull*hit!
A bit*h... let me see the video. Let me see the video!" These are the words spoken by Yoshihito. In the end Nishioka also received a penalty point and, since the lost point gave his opponent a chance to break, the Japanese gave up the whole game in a daring way.
Although Seyboth was able to serve for the 6-5 lead, Nishioka recovered his composure and the disadvantage, then winning the tie-break 10-8. Here is the video of what happened:

The bottom-half yesterday matchs
In one part of the draw, the bottom-half, without Sinner and Medvedev, the two top seeds are Casper Ruud and Holger Rune.
The finalist of last year's French Open defeated Zhizhen Zhang in four sets, with the result 4-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-4. You are not the best version of the Norwegian, who wins a difficult match especially after a difficult first set, not only in terms of scoring.
Easier victory for the Danish tennis player: Rune beats the Argentinean Olivieri with the result of 6-4, 6-3, 6-1. The only moment of uncertainty came in his first round of serve loss by the top seed, then it's all downhill for the young top 10 player.
