Azarenka tees off at chair umpire

Azarenka tees off at chair umpire

Victoria Azarenka advanced to the second round of the US Open after defeating Lucie Hradecka 6-1, 6-2, but it wasn't all smooth sailing for the fiery Belarusian.

After Hradecka hit a long return, which was called out, Azarenka lazily swatted the ball back towards then net, only for the chair umpire to overrule, calling the shot in and giving the point to Hradecka.

SEEDS TUMBLE: Sixth seed Safarova knocked out

Azarenka was rightfully annoyed by the decision, calling for a replay and trading words with the chair umpire, dishing up the old “Do you even tennis?”

Azarenka: "Have you ever played tennis?"

Umpire: "Yes."

Azarenka: "You did? You probably weren't very good."

MAJOR BUUUURRRN.
