Frances Tiafoe scolds referee in fiery tirade during match: ‘F*** You, Man!’

Frances Tiafoe absolutely lost to a referee on Tuesday…as he kicked up a storm when expressing his frustrations over a controversial decision.

The tennis star lashed out after losing against Roman Safiullin at the Shanghai Masters… clearly pissed off at how things unfolded earlier in the match.

During the match, the referee gave 13th seed Tiafoe two time violations… the second taking away Tiafoe’s first serve at a crucial point in the tiebreak.

After shaking Safiullin’s hand, Tiafoe turned his gaze to the ump… and let him know exactly what he thought.

“F*** you, man!” Tiafoe shouted as he pointed at the referee. “F*** you!”

“Seriously, man. F*** you! You ruined my damn match!”

The audience was in a mixture of shock and amusement as they watched it all happen… and audibly reacted to the broadcast collapse.

Tiafoe – who reached the semi-finals of the US Open in September – should expect a hefty fine for the F-bombs… as verbal abuse against referees is an offence, the ATP said.

To remind, Alexander Zverev was fined $40,000 after calling the referee a “fucking idiot” and hitting his chair with his racket in 2022.
