Tension skyrocketing in Doha for Carlos Alcaraz. In the quarterfinals of the ATP 500 against Karen Khachanov, the Spaniard lost his temper after receiving a time violation, openly contesting the chair umpire’s decision. Alcaraz approaches the referee and protests: “You didn’t stop the clock.” The race director replies by explaining that he stopped the clock at 25 seconds and restarted it after the towel.
