ZADAR, Croatia -- Chair umpire Carlos Ramos issued a code violation to Croatia after Marin Cilic slammed his racket to the clay and mangled the frame during a tense Davis Cup match against Sam Querrey of the United States on Sunday.

  The U.S. Davis Cup players are trying to stay out of the debate over chair umpire Carlos Ramos' treatment of Serena Williams during the US Open final. Ramos is also handling the U.S. semifinal vs. Croatia.

Since it was the first violation of the match, it was only a warning. No points were deducted, and Cilic did not exchange any words with Ramos.

"Usually when you break a racket, you get a code violation," Cilic said.

Ramos was the umpire who gave Serena Williams three code violations in her straight-sets loss to Naomi Osaka during last weekend's US Open final. The American great argued she wasn't being treated the same as some male players.

The normally collected Cilic lost his cool after committing a series of uncharacteristic errors late in the third set against Querrey.

After winning the opening set, Cilic wasted a 6-1 lead in the second-set tiebreak before losing 6-7 (2), 7-6 (6), 6-3, 6-4 to Querrey, who played in place of Steve Johnson. Querrey's win evened the best-of-five series at 2-2.

Cilic couldn't recall the last time he had smashed a racket.

"I don't know," he said, adding, "It's always a little bit more nervous" to play in the Davis Cup.

Borna Coric defeated Frances Tiafoe 6-7 (0), 6-1, 6-7 (11), 6-1, 6-3 in the decisive fifth rubber to send Croatia to the Nov. 23-25 final against France.

Cilic is a nice guy and its rare that he loses cool.

Ramos is good umpire.

Serena is victim.

 

[Northern]

Ramos living the Thug Live.

Then when the match ends he goes to the Strip and blows his $450 on coke and hoes, and after that he and his homies hassle some low ranked WTA player that just happened to be walking by.

 

[natalia]

Serena talks fashion....!?!?!? ROFL
Serena = fashion disaster.

 

[VaporDude95]

Cilic has a daughter, no?

 

[Northern]

Cilic has a daughter, no?

Yes, and she gets plenty of cough syrup when she needs it.

 

[big ted]

Yes, and she gets plenty of cough syrup when she needs it.

i feel bad for ramos... everytime he gives someone a violation he's gonna be in the news

It's only the media. Everyone will forget about it in a few weeks once the media can't get any more mileage out of it and everyone is on to the next thing

 

[Northern]

He's gonna be in the news for actually being one of the few umpires who does his job.

 

[Djokodal Fan]

Cilic doesn't have a daughter and Serena has one. Hence Serena is a victim. That's the difference y'all

I wouldn't like to be Serena's daughter. So much responsibility.

 

[Bhagi Katbamna]

He was actually "fighting" for Croatia in that match. But since he was not fighting for all men, giving the violation was the correct call.

If anyone is fighting for all men, isn't he fighting against Women? Misogynist.

Got your photos mixed up. Say what you will of Serena, she looks like a superhero in that.

 

[Legend of Borg]

i guess it's gonna be serena/ramos/osaka/USTA bullsh1t threads for the rest of 2018 and probably half of 2019

 

[MotoboXer]

Looks good except the Batman boots.

 

[tennis_pro]

What an outrage, Cilic should stand up for all men.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Cilic called ramos a thief?

 

[natalia]

Exactly - she is super ridiculous indeed.

 

[Sudacafan]

Cilic called ramos a thief?

He said something worse in Croatian. Luckily for Cilic, Ramos didn’t understand.

Ramos is beginning to be epic. I am joining his fan club tomorrow.

She is Entitled Woman, and has the superpower to annoy. The acronym in that suit should be EW which is very fitting.

 

[titoelcolombiano]

Did Cilic blow up and ask Carlos: Do you know how many women do this?

 

[I Am Finnish]

He said something worse in Croatian. Luckily for Cilic, Ramos didn’t understand.

Some players have Ramos in their blacklists

 

[airchallenge2]

Ramos is good umpire.

Serena is victim.

Agreed with your point about Ramos. I don't get the victim part about Serena.

 

[Purplemonster]

I hope this incident doesn’t impact Portuguese-Croatian diplomatic relations.

“Controversial” for doing your job properly.

 

[dhdriver]

This is the only time I can remember Cilic smashing a racquet on TV.

 

[Purplemonster]

Serena talks fashion....!?!?!? ROFL
Serena = fashion disaster.

No amount of money can buy class or fashion sense.

 

[Sudacafan]

An umpire giving a code violation for smashing a racket is a total travesty.
How did we get here?

 

[The Green Mile]

Cilic couldn't recall the last time he had smashed a racket.

"I don't know," he said, adding, "It's always a little bit more nervous" to play in the Davis Cup.

LOL, didn't he smash his racquet against Nishikori at the USO just a couple of weeks ago? 3rd set, IIRC.... Or maybe it didn't break, can't remember the details...

 

[tennis_pro]

Some players have Ramos in their blacklists

That is so racist, Serena has a daughter.

 

[Sudacafan]

My Serena rehab lasted for 24 hours. I feel I am having a relapse.

I know right

Staged.

Serena is born Victim.

Catwoman boots.

On the other hand, Ramos did overlook all that coaching Cilic was getting.

How could he? Do you think Ramos is chickening out?

 

[Sudacafan]

Wait a moment. Coaching is legal at Davis Cup.

 

[Bartelby]

Obviously it is legal there, but the reality is that people saw the Serena coaching situation as one that could have been match-turning in nature.

And along comes the Davis Cup and no one says it is a dud competition because the men are coached on court ... like women are in the WTA!

Serena most probably would not have won that match no matter the coaching she could have received.
Didn’t you imagine that Davis Cup admits coaching on court because it’s a team competition?

 

[Federev]

I could have sworn the illegal coaching AND the racquet smashing AND the "you're a liar and a thief" out-of-control-rage-rant "could have been match-turning in nature".

 

[Sudacafan]

Serena talks fashion....!?!?!? ROFL
Serena = fashion disaster.

It’s hard to pick one.
The catsuit, the tutu or this one?

Who's she design for, "The Addam's Family"?

 

[Federev]

WAAAAY better than the Tutu.

 

[Sudacafan]

Who's she design for, "The Addam's Family"?

I’d like to see Serena play in a Morticia Addams attire before she retires.

 

[Bartelby]

There were plenty here that argued the coaching she received was match-turning.

The two - captains and on-court coaching - do not necessarily go together.

The captains could just as easily function off-court leaving the field of play to the individual combatants.

Serena most probably would not have won that match no matter the coaching she could have received.
Didn’t you imagine that Davis Cup admits coaching on court because it’s a team competition?

 

[VaporDude95]

I know. I wonder if Serena is going to blame all her problems on her daughter?
