Nicolas Jarry seemed to accuse Cameron Norrie of disturbing him during their fourth round match at Wimbledon and even asked the umpire to step in due to frustrations with the British No 3's serving.
The Chilean was unhappy with Norrie's actions during a second serve; Jarry felt that Norrie had bounced the ball too many times before serving and that the Brit then continued bouncing the ball when it looked as though he was finally ready to play.
A frustrated Jarry would then let rip at umpire, Eva Asderaki-Moore, after Norrie left for a court for a bathroom break after taking a two-set lead.
"What is the rule there? The problem is, is it normal to do that when it affects the other player?," Jarry asked.
"You have to intervene there or I have to suck it. That's the real issue, it doesn't matter the reason. It is the same as hitting the ball anywhere.

"It's not intentional but you have to apply the code as well. How is it now? He perfectly can stop doing it, it's not a nervous tick. It's something that he can control. It's not a nervous tick. You think there's nothing I can do so I just have to suck it up, because he does it always.
"That's a reason for me to have to play with something that affects me. It can be changed, it's not something that cannot be changed."
Asderaki-Moore then responded, saying: "I am going to step in if I think there is a reason to step in."
But Jarry wasn't done and continued: "I don't want to force you into anything. I just want to do what the rules say. And if there is not a rule then tell me and I cannot do anything about it."
"The rule is if it's intentional that he is disturbing then I can do something about it," Aderaki-Moore replied.
Walking back onto the court, Jarry said in conclusion: "Ok so it has to be intentional, if it's not intentional then there's nothing I can do. If that's the rule then I don't need you to say something. I just want to play by the rules because it affects me."
