'Shut the f*** up!' - WATCH: Shapovalov survives Italian Open ... (Tennishead)

Denis Shapovalov somehow managed to win after completely losing the plot in an intense Italian Open battle with home talent Lorenzo Sonego.

Haigh calmly levelled with Shapovalov that he understood his frustration, but that he was left with no choice but to hand out a code violation and a point penalty given it was a second warning for the 23-year-old. After a late umpire overrule on a second serve, the Canadian made the mistake of hurdling the net to show umpire Richard Haigh the mark he believed was in. Denis Shapovalov has come through one of the most eventful ATP matches of the year so far to reach the second round of the Italian Open.

Osaka pulls out of Italian Open with injury (FRANCE 24)

Naomi Osaka has withdrawn from the Italian Open in Rome to rest an Achilles injury ahead of the French Open, the WTA said on Monday.

The 24-year-old reached the Miami Open final, where she lost to world number one Iga Swiatek, in April. The former world number one has never reached the final of a clay-court tournament, but will be hoping to put that record straight at the French Open which starts on May 22. "Unfortunately I'm going to have to withdraw from Rome as the injury which I picked up last week in Madrid hasn't healed yet," the Japanese star said in a statement.

"I'm not going to kick him out because I didn't see what he was doing," Haigh said. "Things like that shouldn't happen," Sonego said. I understand you're frustrated."
