Mikael Ymer breaks racket, umpire's chair in tennis match tirade at Lyon Open

Tennis star Mikael Ymer’s frustration with the chair umpire during his Lyon Open’s match on Wednesday boiled over to the point where he took his anger out on the chair itself. 

Ymer, a Swedish-born tennis player who was playing in the round of 16 of the tournament against Arthur Fils, wanted a ball mark to be checked on the clay court after the chair umpire ruled a shot from Fils as in. 

Ymer thought the borderline call was out, but after hearing no call, he awkwardly tried to return the shot, and it went out on Fils’ end.

However, the umpire refused to grant Ymer’s request for the inspection of a ball mark, which Ymer found unacceptable.

"Show me the mark then. Show me the mark," Ymer was heard saying to the chair umpire. "You thought it clearly bounced on the line? Then show me the mark on the line."

Ymer added, "I’ve never witnessed that a ref said I’m not going to go down and check the mark."

He would go on to lose the game on the next service, and that’s when he went ballistic.

Ymer walked over to the chair umpire and began bashing his racket against the chair, shattering both his racket and the side of the chair into pieces while the umpire looked on. It was an immediate disqualification from the match, but Ymer certainly got his anger out.

He accepted his fate, walked over to Fils to congratulate him for moving on to the finals, and walked off the court in frustration.

Ymer is currently ranked 51st in the world. He’ll be on the court for the French Open next week at Roland Garros.

Florida ex-teacher arrested again for alleged sexual relations with student

A former high school teacher in Florida was arrested again for having alleged sexual relations with a student.

Arin Hankerd, a former gym teacher at Atlantic High School, was arrested on February 10 for having an alleged sexual relationship with a 15-year-old student in January, according to FOX 35.

The gym teacher resigned from his position before the school district could take action.

Hankerd was re-arrested on Tuesday and a judge ordered that he be held in jail without bond up until his trial. The state attorney's office said that the suspect is a danger to the community.

FLORIDA TEACHER ACCUSED OF SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH STUDENT HAD RECEIVED MULTIPLE WARNINGS BEFORE

The Tuesday arrest comes in relation to an incident where the former gym teacher is accused of sending inappropriate messages and having a sexual encounter with a 17-year-old student at Mainland High School in 2019.

He previously worked at Mainland High School then moved to Atlantic High School.

The teacher was sent a "letter of caution" in March 2020 after officials discovered that he talked with a female student about drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana.

In October 2021, the teacher was sent another letter of caution after he allegedly made inappropriate comments about the appearance of two female students.

Hankerd received a third letter of caution after allegedly asking a female student about her belly button piercing and boyfriend. He was also accused of grabbing her arm during class.
