Yeah, a gentleman except for the part where he yelled "Clean the floor!" at the umpire/line judges and almost threw his racket. No need to show such aggressive behaviors like that, not very nice. I know a wet floor can cause some serious injuries and he had slipped before but he should be able to compose himself better.
That frustration by him is justifiable imo. He slipped yesterday and many times in today's match. So he was annoyed by court conditions naturally. And as it's Olympic year, every athlete will want to be fit as fiddle and avoid any type of injuries.
I totally understand the fear of getting major injuries just right before the Olympic hence why he reacted that way. However, the floor will still be a little oily after being mopped and sometimes players just slipped, it happens. He has played many many times before so he know this. The umpire never refused him to clean the floor previously so yelling at him as if it’s his fault is quite rude even if it’s out of frustration.

Mixed doubles final offers the most surprising outcome if we judged the winner by their world ranking (#110) but certainly is quite predictable since we know the individual quality of Kim duo (Sa Rang & Ha Na). Losing opening game 15-21, the Koreans rebound quickly and started to show their real strength with some disguising shots, nice placement and most significantly solid defense to frustrate Gicquel/Delrue powerful attacking smashes. Women's doubles practically exhibited battle of endurance with so many long rallies in 96 minutes of play, the more patient Polii/Rahayu won the contest to eliminate Stoeva sisters, nail second title in 2020 season. Shortest final duration presented by men's doubles when Astrup/Rasmussen edge past defending champion and more favoured Lee Y/Wang CL, 21-17 / 21-19, excellent feat by the Dane to knock out second and top seed in a row here. Heartbreak for home fans to witness Carolina Marin failed to top podium, she can't control emotion, always rushing to attack that became a boomerang from her basic errors. Pornpawee Chochuwong changed tactic smartly to implement long rallies and seized opportunity to attack rather than let Marin injected the pace. A superb play by Marin in first game to outplay her rival then the Spaniard followed Chochuwong rhythm in next two games. Maiden BWF World Tour title for 22 years old Chochuwong also scores first ever victory over the Olympic Champion in six encounters. As expected Viktor Axelsen extends his crown in Barcelona, continuing Danish MS player domination since the inaugural 2018 edition, only experienced the toughest match against Loh Kean Yew at first round then going smoothly to capture the title. The less experienced rookie Kunlavut Vitidsarn is still no match to balance his high profile foe despite did good fight in early second game. Vitidsarn is touted as one the promising talents to watch out in future years alongside Lakshya Sen, Kodai Naraoka and Li Shifeng. Next Super 300 event, GER Open with much stronger and interesting line-up.
White people can raise their voice to the coach as well. Doesn't nesessary mean they are against the coach.
