Iran’s Majid Abedini has been provisionally suspended from tennis after being caught on camera chasing a tournament official off the court, the Guardian reports.
“Mr Abedini has been provisionally suspended in accordance with the ITF Welfare Policy and is further subject to an investigation into a possible Player Major Offence of Aggravated Behaviour. Following this investigation, any additional sanction will be announced,” ITF said.
Abedini was defaulted from the match and could now face a lengthy ban.
