Wimbledon tennis player goes on blistering rant after losing match
LONDON -- When it comes to match point at Wimbledon, tensions can sometimes run a little high.
Never was this more evident than in Thursday's second round contest between Viktor Troicki and Albert Ramos-Vinolas, which ended in pretty dramatic fashion after Troicki decided he didn't like one of the umpire's key decisions.

The match was in a pretty crucial stage when Troicki lost that point -- he was 5 - 3 down in the fifth set, and the umpire's call meant that his opponent had a match point against him (which he ended up winning).

From the sounds of it, Troicki wasn't exactly apologetic after the match, either.
"He should be the one who is fined, he cost me," Troicki was quoted as saying by the BBC. "I'm not saying he cost me the match but he cost me an important point."
Troicki went on to say that he didn't think a match like that should have been played on a court with a chair umpire and no Hawk-Eye technology.
"He's not able to do a proper job, so I told him that," Troicki said. "I was just boiling at that stage. I couldn't talk normally."
Still, it could have been worse.
