\n Swedish tennis<\/a> player Mikael Ymer was disqualified from the Lyon Open on Wednesday after smashing his racket against the base of the umpire\u2019s chair.\n <\/p>\n

\n The incident<\/a> occurred after Ymer had pleaded with umpire Rogerio Santos to check a ball mark on the clay during his round of 16 match against France\u2019s Arthur Fils.\n <\/p>\n

\n Santos said he had seen the ball bouncing on the line and therefore wouldn\u2019t check for a mark on the court \u2013 as umpires often do on clay \u2013 though Ymer was adamant the ball had gone out.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI have never witnessed that a ref says, \u2018I\u2019m not going to go down and check the mark.\u2019 It doesn\u2019t happen. Why are you not checking the mark I\u2019m giving to you?\u201d Ymer said to Santos.\n <\/p>\n

\n Fils then broke Ymer\u2019s serve the following point to go 6-5 ahead, after which the world No. 53 smashed his racket twice into the umpire\u2019s chair, breaking the racket head clean away from the handle on his second swipe.\n <\/p>\n

\n A tournament official then told Ymer that he had been disqualified. The 24-year-old went over to congratulate Fils, who will face top seed F\u00e9lix Auger Aliassime in the next round.\n <\/p>\n

\n A similar incident involving German player Alexander Zverev<\/a> occurred at the Mexican Open last year.\n <\/p>\n

\n Zverev was handed a suspended eight-week ban and fined $25,000 for repeatedly hitting the umpire\u2019s chair with his racket during a first-round doubles match.\n <\/p>\n

\n At the time of the incident, he was ejected from the singles tournament, fined $40,000 and made to forfeit the $31,570 in prize money he had already accumulated, as well as all ATP Rankings points from the event.\n <\/p>\n

\n CNN has contacted the ATP Tour regarding Ymer\u2019s disqualification from the Lyon Open.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
