In the Davis Cup qualifying round, Belgium and Chile are facing off. After the first day of play, the score was tied 1-1, but a scandal erupted during one of today's matches.
Cristian Garin refused to continue playing after he was knocked down by Zizou Bergs during a changeover, as Bergs celebrated.
The Chilean player suffered a swollen eye, and his team is demanding a technical defeat for the opponent. Belgian player Bergs had just made a break and was set to serve for the match at 6-5 in the third set.
Garin never returned to the court, so he was awarded a loss in the set with a score of 7-5. Belgium's victory secured their progression to the next round of the tournament.
