Call him Denis "ouin ouin" Shapovalov.

Confused about carrying the thrust at the start of the fifth inning against a visibly diminished and physically affected Nadal, Denis Shapovalov, extremely nervous throughout the match, to the point of treating referee Carlos Bernardes as corrupt for not having sanctioned the Spaniard for his slowness in serving, had not really taken off in a press conference.

The Rafa turtle serving

“I think I misspoke when I said he was corrupt. But I stay on my position. I think that's unfair. How many times does Rafa get away with it

(when serving)

 ? And at the end of the fourth set, he leaves to be medically evaluated, and after the evaluation, he will take a bathroom break. But how can you be medically evaluated and have a toilet break and cause so much delay in the game? For the same thing last year, I was not allowed to take a toilet break when I asked for a medical examination”.

The eternal controversy over the use of the medical break, one of Djokovic's best tricks when his matches get off to a bad start.

In short, instead of blaming himself for his emotional mismanagement of key moments, Shapovalov got lost in his bad faith.

“I respect everything Rafa has done and I think he is an incredible player.

But, you know, there have to be boundaries, set rules.

It's so frustrating as a player.

You know, you feel like you're not just playing against the player;

you play against the referees, you play against so much more”.

“There must be limits”

Relaunched one last time on the angry question, something like “Do you think Nadal is advantaged for what he has done in his career?

he didn't deviate a line.

" Sure.

100 %.

All the other games I played, the pace was very fast because the referees were watching the clock after each point”.

Will have to move on Denis.
