Federico Gómez (206th in the world rankings) took to the court to play the final round of the US Open qualifying. Opposite him was the Frenchman Hugo Grenier (188th). From the very beginning, the match showed absolute parity: in fact, the first two sets were decided in a tiebreak.

After falling behind on the scoreboard, the Argentine managed to even the score in the second tiebreak of the match. There, after recovering a minibreak, he took it 7-5 and celebrated effusively, which ended in a heated argument with the Frenchman. The fight was so intense that the match umpire had to intervene.

The reason for the argument? Gómez celebrated with gestures meaning “keep talking.” This was because the Argentine had heard Grenier’s team saying things he didn’t like.

The 28-year-old tennis player, born in Merlo, is looking to reach the main draw of the US Open for the first time. This year, he already achieved it at Roland Garros, where he reached the second round.
