Ilya Ivashka erupted at the chair umpire during the semifinal of the SM Krishna Memorial Open in India. The Belarusian defeated Hamish Stewart 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 despite the confrontation. He is scheduled to face Petr Bar Biryukov in the final on Friday.
The incident occurred while Ivashka trailed 3-4 in the second set. The umpire overruled a line call and awarded the point to Stewart after Ivashka hit the ball into the net. Ivashka argued that the call had interrupted his shot and demanded a replay.
