Okay so I had an incident this weekend with a USTA ref.
I was playing and my opponent made a bs call, so i turned to the fence and said relatively quietly "why can't he call the f-ing lines in?" The official overhead I guess and coded me right off the bat. No warning or anything. Then I turn to a family member who was spectating and said "she the one who screwed me over in the last tournament" then the codes me for a game.
Not only that, but the next game my opponent shouts "f*ck" and then smashes his racket to bits with the same official staring at him while he does it, and he gets nothing, not even a warning. Is this just me or is it strange that I got harshly penalized and he got off the hook easily?
