Spectator Turns Rogue as He Irritates Canadian Tennis Beauty Bianca Andreescu in Controversial Scenes at Citi Open 2023

After a lackluster grass season, Bianca Andreescu returned to the court to mark her participation in the ongoing Citi Open taking place in Washington. Despite some great efforts, the Canadian tennis beauty was knocked out in the very first round of the WTA 500 event. However, it was a dramatic event involving Andreescu, as it drew far more attention than her defeat on the hard court.

The nail-biting match was marred by an unsavory incident involving a spectator who constantly cheered the former World No. 4 player whenever she missed a serve. Due to the same, the WTA star was quite riled up as she later started screaming at the fan in the stadium. Here’s what transpired during the outdoor hard court tournament, as security also had to intervene during the highly contentious episode.

A fan disrupts Bianca Andreescu’s match in Washington

The Ukrainian tennis star, Marta Kostyuk, recently made a stunning comeback after dropping the first set of her match against Bianca Andreescu. In a three-set thriller at the Citi Open, it was the 21-year-old who prevailed as she outclassed the Canadian tennis beauty, 2-6, 6-3, 7-6(5). However, the third set of the match was the source of much controversy due to the fan in the crowd.

The spectator was constantly heard shouting ‘out’ at the 23-year-old tennis star following her missed serves. Even when she hit a double fault in the third set, the fan reacted in a similar manner. Taking note of the same, Andreescu eventually turned towards the crowd and screamed ‘Shut up!’ at the guy who was constantly annoying her. The Canadian further refused to play until he left, and the security intervention made sure that this happened.

Following her match, the WTA player didn’t hold herself back from expressing her opinions on the controversial incident involving her. On her Twitter account, she penned a sarcastic message which stated, “what a wonderful sport :-)”

When it comes to voicing her grievances on the court, the former World No. 4 has demonstrated that she is pretty direct. Her ‘no-filter’ demeanor was also evident during her previous controversial verbal spat with the chair umpire.

Andreescu was also involved in a contentious incident during the grass season

During the Bad Homburg Open, the Canadian previously made headlines due to her verbal spat with the chair umpire. In the deciding set of her match against Sonay Kartal, the Canadian was quite irked by the line call, which didn’t go in her favor. The 23-year-old player was irked by the umpire’s decision as she vented out her frustrations on the court. Andreescu was heard shouting, “There have been so many calls that were so bad”.

However, she later ended up prevailing in the three-set thriller, (6-2, 3-6, 7-5) of the grass-court tournament.
