"The spectators bought tickets to come and see us play. So at least do not shout before the first and second submission," Kyrgyz finally tried to explain his behavior.

"I know when you play against Rafa, 99% of the crowd goes for these guys. And I'm not asking the crowd to support me or encourage and read my name or go crazy for me when I win or lose."

Kirius added that he thinks the behavior of fans in all sports is getting worse.

"I think it's just this generation. Everyone feels my opinion is right. When you watch professional tennis players, you have to be quiet. Do not tell me how to play. Just sit in your chair and you will see me play tennis."

Nadal in action.

Advanced to the semifinals,

"They think they have some right to shout at players. It affects people, we are just human beings ... I'm not perfect, but what I'm saying is you can not do that," the Australian concluded angrily.

Either way, for the place in the final Rafa will fight against the Spaniard Carlos Alcras the young (18), who defeated the British Cameron Nuri 4: 6, 3: 6 in an hour and 40 minutes.
