Another verbal altercation followed between Kokkinakis and Munar

Even after their match, the ATP stars got into another furious confrontation that was brought up as a result of their earlier disagreement. Kokkinakis’ “shut up” remarks were met with a blunt response from his opponent who outperformed him in straight sets.

After winning the match, Munar said, “Don’t tell me to shut up again,” when the Aussie tried to approach him for the customary post-match handshake. The 27-year-old player then replied in an intimidating manner as he stated,  “Or what?”

Later, Kokkinakis cleared the air by revealing that he wasn’t furious with the Spaniard as he was just talking to the chair umpire. Munar, on the other hand, also argued by saying that he wasn’t conversing with his team. But, his opponent didn’t agree with the same as he insisted that he saw him talking with his coach.
