The Russian tennis player, who classified the world on a career high of No. 407, shocked the audience when he unleash a number of inappropriate actions to the chairman of the referee and his opponent Alejo Sanchez Quilez.

During his game against Sanchez Quilez, Gulin made rough gestures with 4: 0 in the third set, swore the referee and even went so far to grab his own bar in a moment of madness. The behavior of the 22-year-old escalated when he aggressively confronted the referee, which led to his disqualification.

Gulin's outburst did not go on the square to the square. He admitted, after the match the referee confronted, shouted at him and grabbed him physically on his neck. As a result of his actions, Gulin is now the possibility of a ban from future tournaments and was beaten with a strong fine of 2,000 euros.

In an interview after the game, Gulin tried to justify his behavior and accused the referee's controversial call. He claimed that the referee's decision had torn his nerves until the control was lost. In addition, Gulin Sanchez Quilez accused of addressing his disqualification and expressing his unbelief about his opponent's actions.
