I'm not sure what they're putting in the water at Arthur Ashe Stadium, but it seems it makes the top players in the world a tad more irritable than normal. You all know about Serena Williams' tirade on Saturday after a sketchy foot fault was called a point before match point. Now it was Roger Federer's turn. In the finals against Juan Martin del Potro, Federer didn't agree with a late challenge being allowed by the chair ump. His exact quote, along with video of the mini-wig out by the world No. 1 is after the jump.
The exact quote by Roger -- "No no no, come on, I wasn't allowed to challenge after two seconds and the guy takes like 10 [seconds]. How can you allow that stuff to happen? Do you have any rules in there? Stop showing me the hand, OK? Don't tell me to be quiet, OK? When I wanna talk I'll talk. I don't give a s*** what he said, I'm just saying he waited too long ..."
Here is the video (Audio NSFW):
You don't see Federer lose it often, so this was a rare treat from the best tennis player of our generation.
