Complaining to the umpire is part of tennis -- or any sport, for that matter.

The player screams at the umpire, the umpire bites back and we move on with the match. At the end we all shake hands and go our separate ways.

Or ... maybe not.

At the Citi Open Monday night in Washington, D.C., the world's No. 45 player Yulia Putintseva was absolutely fed up with the chair umpire in her match against Varvara Flink.

Luckily, our Twitter friend Matthew was there to document the whole thing (he affectionately refers to Putintseva as "Poots"):


A player losing his or her cool is nothing new to the tennis world, but what happened afterward was something you don't see very often.

When Putintseva went to shake hands with the umpire after the match -- which she won, by the way -- the umpire was like, "Nah, I'm good."

DENIED.

Putintseva didn't seem too upset with the insult, but let's hope these two don't meet again somewhere down the line.
