Robin Haase loses point for hindrance in hilarious fashion during the Prostejov Challenger

Gonzalo Lama won their first round match 6-3 6-3.

[@butterbot]

Grunting is stupid as hell, but if we're going to allow it, it should be a free for all. Sarcastic grunting is as much a release as the other fucking kind.

[@ShaneGrogan724]

I make an effort not to make any sound when I play tennis.

[@thecookiemonstergaming3089]

+William Garcia the only ones I permit to grunt is hot girls

[@fireburn95rs]

[@ledrakejames]

just a question, have you played tennis at a high intensity, against a talented opponent? from experience, these sounds are natural there's nothing you can do about them

[@T0MMYNAT0R]

+footballer494 wonder why at badminton they don't grunt. It's not like tennis requires more musscle strength.

[@TheOneJokeWonder]

I'm with Robin. Why should he be punished for doing the same thing the other guy is doing, although less often

[@JEMurl]

I agree; Bruno shouldnt be only one allowed

[@bensong8518]

sorta obvious he was doing it to mock the other guy but still should be completely acceptable. Some officials get all SJW for stuff like this.

[@hineighbor]

This is actually hilarious. Ref basically punished him for being a smart ass lol

[@Sportsastoldbyagirl]

lol

[@zonx27]

The only reason he did it. He was in fact being a smart ass lol

[@mitcht1026]

its not hilarious, its fucking atrocious. No way should a ref be given power to deduct or penalize an athlete because of a noise. Even if that noise was sarcasm. Unless the rules specifically state that the player or athlete of a certain sport cannot make loud noises then you can't just go and penalize one for making one.

[@justinnanu4338]

The rules actually do support the umpire's decision in this case.

[@EmperorsNewWardrobe]

Mitch T, is it actually? The ref would need some kind of power over distracting noises, or at least noises intended to distract. Don’t you agree with that first?

[@soulhawk30]

Seriously? He didn't even grunt the second time when the guy fucked up his hit.

[@brandonwise5170]

You got this Pearl.

[@TraynardHraven]

The guy stopped his hit because the empire called the point. He just kinda half-assed the hit because the point was already over.

[@soulhawk30]

Brandon Wise Hahaha nice reference!

[@soulhawk30]

BastiontheMighty Ahhh okay, that would make sense then!

[@unvergebeneid]

+BastiontheMighty Exactly, but it's umpire, not empire. An empire is something else :)

[@xenothonstelnicki597]

Glad to see someone finally take action on this bullshit. Big ups to Haase!

[@nolanmythbuster]

How does a ref keep a job and pull bs like that? I don't get it

[@killadiator1014]

i am so glad this got recorded. i come back here once in a while for a short laugh

This is the greatest video on the Internet

[@edzconkarah9867]

WOW THIS HAD ME IN TEARS LAUGHING. You could completely tell that yell was intentionally trying to take the piss haha but wtf that call was harsh as hell.

[@seamussinclair4662]

Every tennis game should be watched at this angle imho.

[@tomtonka1915]

Nah can't see if the ball is in or out.

[@SasekPL]

Grunting should be forbidden. I don't watch tennis anymore because when I turn it on on my TV someone could think that I watch some porn, especially when women are playing.

[@ONEMANUNITX]

I have no problem in people thinking that I watch porn. I do a lot more than that Lol

[@vertigofrost1505]

At least the grunting in Porn sounds like it was produced by a human.

[@JamesVignaleII]

Oh for God's sake, you anti-grunters are so dramatic. It's part of the game. If you can't handle the grunting, you're not a true fan. Obviously people can tell you're NOT watching porn. Out in the open. In the family room or whatever. Unless they're idiots.

[@ONEMANUNITX]

+James Vignale II I like when they grunt, when I push it in.

[@quachimba]

Just put it on mute? It's not like there's much to hear in tennis.

[@irisdewilde]

Hahahaha I thought it was absolutely hilarious. Man, I feel him. Playing an entire game with some grunting idiot must annoy the shit outta you. I totally think they should forbid grunting. "Release of energy", my ass, you can release your energy without freaking screaming. It's a nuisance to the opponent and probably disturbing the concentration as well

[@Emily62524]

+Michael Williams because he was mocking his opponent's grunting. Stupid reason tbh.

[@KurtSinna]

It's not that serious at all

[@jonquinn3560]

+KurtSinna you cannot be serious!!!

[@noelramos4948]

[@sallyjohnson9832]

+andy daniels too soon mate. Too soon.

[@TheJapanChannelDcom]

Ridiculous. That clown does it every shot and the other guy is penalized for doing it once? The whole grunting thing is nonsense. Imagine if baseball players grunted.. or golfers.. Ridiculous.

[@M0saab]

he was being unsportsmanlike. he was making fun of the grunter by grunting once.

[@Michaelmouse23]

Plus baseball and golf arent really sports really. Just hobbies.

[@monica012077]

Why would they grunt? In golf and baseball you spend most of the time standing still.

[@deedeer7022]

Screaming helps concentrate on one gesture or impact point, every martial art practitioner knows that. Here it helps concentrating on hitting that ball at a precise second. It's not comedy like that other guy who thought he could imitate without knowing how to do it right.

[@thebigmonstaandy6644]

Deedee R . loL:other guy who thought he could imitate without knowing how to do it right.-other guy is much better player.

[@jjsoledad8553]

I think it's time to make a rule on the matter. Loud grunting is annoying to non-shrieking opponents, it can throw them off, it disturbs the crowds and it's not really necessary.

[@clarenceang7817]

hahahah trust me bro it is hard to contain urself but like i dont agree with the ref either

[@traviskantz2368]

This title is to damn smart for me

[@KingOfSpadess]

+Jawn me?! Chris love is clearly more distracting.

[@EmperorsNewWardrobe]

KingOfSpadess, if there was a comma it would have addressed you, but without it I think he was referring to the other commenter

[@NowinWTF]

nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh he does it *every single time* love that.

[@TheFoodog49]

I'm sure many players use the theatrics to distract the other player in the first place. Looked like he got fed up with it and pointed it out in his own fashion. Good for him. Too bad he was penalized.

[@noelramos4948]

I don't think they should stop the guy from grunting, it helps with performance, but I don't think the other guy should have gotten in trouble either, Although it helps one player he might find it a nuisance in which I case I think he should be free to mock his opponent

[@brucew5343]

well said Noel well said

[@tommyf4606]

Well it might help HIS performance, but makes tennis in general a pain to watch. If they can't play without sounding like someone who gets kicked in the stomach, they should not play at all.

[@venrosonitas]

+Tommy F Almost every tennis player grunts with a few exceptions, so the sport of tennis would be in shambles lol

[@brucew5343]

Hell yeah, if you can't play without grunting you just shouldn't play... I agreed with Noel just cuz if he must grunt for whatever reason, then the other guy should be allowed to as well. If the judge considers the one guy grunting unsportsmanlike, than so was the other... on every single hit.

[@aDayInTheMindOfMe]

So...one can grunt, but the other can't? Yeah, I'd walk off the court at that point, you want to be taken seriously as a sport, you can't be pulling that shit, even if it was making fun of the other player.

[@darkworld9850]

Why can't you grunt sarcastically? Is it distracting the player?

[@bashir9311]

+Adam Speight where do you draw the line to tell if it's sarcastic or not?

[@Pavi132]

Who is to say what is sarcastic or sincere? That is too subjective. It should be that you can or cannot and that is it.

[@zomaster1]

there was a player that would do karate noises while playing but only did it to asian players .

[@aDayInTheMindOfMe]

***** Prove he was being a smart ass is my point.

[@MeepMeep88]

LOL it's kinda funny. The blue guy's grunts are all consistent and when the white guy does ONE mocking grunt, it throws the blue guy out of his game enough that his grunt changes like "AHHHHhhhhhheeeeeeh?" lol 00:15 normal grunt 00:24 changed grunt lol

[@user-hc1px1sw1m]

Mr. Lama ended every grunt with an "!" Until Mr. Haase called Mr. Lama's grunt and raised it with one of his own ending with "!!" Mr. Lama responded with a grunt ending with a half baked "?" In some backward cultures this is called communication. Mr. Haase, being tired of "Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!" said: "Shut the fuck up!!" And the ref, being very civilized, does not allow such vulgaire language on the court.

[@hineighbor]
