One-time U.S. Open champion Bianca Andreescu has no patience for hecklers.
During her first-round match at the Mubadala Citi D.C. Open on Monday, the 23-year-old tennis pro shouted in frustration at a fan who reportedly kept having outbursts after she missed a serve.

The last straw seemingly came in the third set with Andreescu and Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk tied at 2-2.

The line judge ruled Andreescu’s serve out and, just moments later, the heckler could be heard shouting, “Out.”
“Shut up!” she shouted with her arms out by her side.
The chair umpire was seen reaching for her radio, likely to call security. According to the New York Post, Andreescu refused to continue play until the heckler was removed from the stadium.
