Top tennis star sparks backlash after lashing out and 'swearing at ball kid'

Rafael Jodar received a code violation warning in the middle of his fourth-round match at the Shanghai Masters after swearing at a ball kid. The No. 12 seed dropped the first set to Botic van de Zandschulp on Wednesday, but had an opening in the first game of the second set. Jodar blew break points on the Dutchman’s serve and grew frustrated as he waited for the ball kids to bring him a towel in between points, swearing in Spanish, something that chair umpire Jimmy Pinoargote picked up on.
