A frustrated Dmitry Tursunov questioned the time policy during his match at the ABN AMRO tournament in Rotterdam on Monday which led to him taking a swipe about Rafael Nadal’s time violations and butt picking. Nadal is not participating at the tournament this year. The Spaniard was slated to compete in Buenos Aires but pulled out due to a stomach virus.
Tursunov was playing against Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov and during one of the changeovers, the Russian raised complaints about the time policy on umpire Cedric Maurier.
Maurier reportedly gave a warning on Tursunov about picking up the pace and Tursunov answered back if the same would have done it if it was Nadal doing the deed.
“Have you given (Nadal) a point yet?” Tursunov said. “You have given him a point? Three times? 10 times? 12 times? Once?
“Rafa will pick his ass for 30 seconds and you guys will just watch, not going to say a word.”
