Australian tennis player Marc Polmans has said that he apologized to a chair umpire after hitting a ball in his face during a qualifying match at the Shanghai Masters.
Polmans was leading Italy’s Stefano Napolitano 7-6 6-6 and had a match point in the tie break when he accidentally hit a ball at umpire Ben Anderson after netting a backhand volley. The world No. 140 was disqualified from Tuesday’s match, where a victory would have earned him a spot in the main draw.
“We both move on. It was a high pressure situation and I should have reacted better.” Reuters reported that Polman will lose all the rankings points and prize money that he gained from the tournament but will face no further punishment from the ATP Tour.
