Pro Tennis player Denis Shapovalov was forced to hold it in during his first-round match against Jannik Sinner.
The umpire told him he couldn’t go relieve himself, so he responded “what do you mean I can't go? Are you going to disqualify me? I have to pee! I'm going to piss my pants! I'm going to piss in a bottle! You guys are not allowing players to piss? I don't understand this rule!"
Apparently players are allowed two bathroom breaks per five-set matches but only between sets.
Shapovalov was reportedly denied because a player who called for a medical timeout can’t leave the court while waiting for help.
He was allowed to leave the court on the next break.
He called the rule "dumb" and claimed that he should’ve been allowed to urinate because of his small bladder.
