In this list of the 5 ugliest outbursts against tennis officials, David Nalbandian finds a special mention. In the finals of the Aegon Championships at Queen’s Club in England, Nalbandian was put under pressure in the second set by Marin Cilic. Unhappy with his shot, Nalbandian kicked on-court advertising board next to a line-judge’s chair.

This advertisement board ricocheted into the official’s shin, gushing out blood. The Argentine was immediately disqualified, much to the chagrin of the crowd in attendance. He had to forfeit his prize money of £36,114 and 150 ranking points due to this appalling behavior. Definitely one of the 5 ugliest outbursts!
