Has an umpire ever refused to shake a player's hand?

[Mark-Touch]

We've seen many players refuse to shake hands recently.
I'm wondering if you ever saw an umpire refuse to shake a player's hand?

There was a pretty ugly spat with Andre Agassi and umpire Rudi Berger in the 1994 YEC semi final match between Agassi and Pete Sampras. Agassi and Berger both cussed each other out through most of the match and at the end, after Berger had overruled a close call at a key point in the match. Sampras won 4-6, 7-6, 6-3. Agassi insulted Berger for ages, and Berger basically had enough and insulted Agassi back, continuing on after the match.

Not sure if this is exactly germane, but I wonder about the 1979 us open fiasco between Mac and Nastase. After the reinstatement of Ilie, Frank Hammond probably left sans handshakes when he was removed mid match.
mike Blanchard finished the match.

I think one of the reasons Pliskova hit umpire's chair was that she (the umpire) was reluctant to shake hands with her.

Yes it happens, not so much on the main tours. When it happens the refusal is often very subtle. The umpire gets “busy” on the walkie-talkie, the phone, or hops out of the chair quickly and moves behind the chair for some perpetrated urgent something or another… yes it’s passive aggressive and immature, but believe it or not, umpires are people, and people get their noses bent out of joint sometimes…no matter how professional.

It’s also worth noting that sometimes the umpire shares the same feelings as the player who refuses.

awesome entertainment.

Malisse and Fognini, both not too surprising. IIRC, in Fog's case, the Umpire DID shake his hand after refusing to do so initially...

No, I’m pretty sure this was Pliskova refusing the handshake, she just didn’t remember that she was mad at her until she went towards her with her hand raised

We need another camera angle to know the truth.

You’re right, it might have been mutual, but I seem to remember all the talk afterwards being exclusively about Pliskova
