VIDEO: A fan kicked out by Indian Wells provoked Rudd
The "fifth Grand Slam" is currently being held in Indian Wells, USA, focusing on Danil Medvedev and his attempt to overtake Novak Djokovic in the ATP rankings.
Medvedev easily defeated Filip Krajinovic in the third round with 6: 2,7: 6 and came to only four victories from the first place in the ranking list.
However, during the day the main news was not the Russian tennis player, but the events of the match between Casper Rudd and Lloyd Harris. The Norwegian tennis player was furious in the middle of the match and asked the referee to remove a fan from the stands.
Namely, while Rudd was preparing to serve, who knows how many times he heard a fan comment, after which he asked the guards to throw the unscrupulous spectator out of the stands.

- How is it happening? He constantly provoked me - Rudd explained, and the judge agreed to his request.
The fan first protested against this decision and then started photographing the guards, but after the audience protested, he left the stands.
The break helped Rudd celebrate by turning over Harris 6: 7,6: 4,6: 4.
