‘F***ing freezing!’ – Stanislas Wawrinka furious at umpire in excess of ‘not normal’ water temperature at French Open up

Stanislas Wawrinka was remaining furious more than the temperature of the h2o at the French Open in a shocking rant at the umpire for the duration of his initially-spherical match in opposition to Corentin Moutet.

The Swiss star, who has experienced his profession in recent several years blighted by a collection of injuries, was having on Frenchman Moutet out on Court Suzanne-Lenglen when he burst into a row with the formal.

The 37-yr-outdated let his frustrations get the improved of him more than, of all things, the problem of the drinking water at Roland-Garros. Specifically, the simple fact that it was much too chilled for his liking.

In a bizarre and to some degree comical rant, Wawrinka yelled from the internet: “It is not ordinary at a Grand Slam!

“Is that standard? Do you feel it is normal? So you connect with somebody. It has been three changeovers, I asked you for some h2o, that is not f***ing freezing!

“Since it is not great. You are at the French Open and you can’t get ordinary h2o! You consider it is normal?”

Eurosport commentator Simon Reed did not have a great deal sympathy with the water problems encountered by the 2015 winner at Roland-Garros.

“No, it is not his difficulty – that is the thing, Stan!

“Sorry about the language, but possibly he is looking for a struggle.”

Wawrinka has endured a torrid handful of years on the ATP Tour as he has sought to shrug off persistent setbacks and injuries, but is producing a common return to the significant phase on the red dust in Paris.

Regrettably for the veteran star, Moutet clinched a 4-set triumph to delight the dwelling followers, getting the victory 2-6 6-3 7-6 6-3.

The Swiss will hope that his 2022 French Open up campaign is not purely remembered for his distaste for the temperature of the mineral drinking water.
