Player smashes, breaks racquet on umpire's chair after loss
World number five Karolina Pliskova bashed the umpire's chair and broke her racket after suffering a second-round loss in the Italian Open on Wednesday. The Czech player had a heated argument with the umpire after her smash was incorrectly ruled out when serving at 30-30 and 5-5 in the final set. Greece's Maria Sakkari won the match 3-6 6-3 7-5.
