• Dzumhur the latest player to berate an official
There was a moment in Roger Federer’s win against Damir Dzumhur here on day three of the US Open when the Bosnian underdog lost whatever sympathy the crowd afforded him as he turned on the umpire, Eva Asderaki-Moore, and barked: “When I ask you a question, you answer me OK?”
Asderaki-Moore said nothing. Dzumhur chuntered on. Much good it did him, as Federer recovered from 0-4 in the first set to win 3-6, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 in 2hr 22min under the roof on Arthur Ashe.
