Tennis player threatens to urinate on court in front of all the fans and here's why

One of the big questions that bothers sports fans’ minds; what happens when a football player, a basketball player, a tennis player or a cyclist wants to poo poo or wee wee?

Do they even perform one of the seven life processes called excretion?

In an awkward situation during a marathon third-round doubles tennis match, Uruguayan Pablo Cuevas was marked for code violation for unsportsman-like behaviour when he reportedly threatened to urinate in front of all the onlooking fans at the game after being refused a bathroom break.

Pablo Cuevas and his playing partner staged a sit-down protest refusing to continue the game as their opponents waited on the sides.

Cuevas did not follow through with his threat according to officials of this year’s Wimbledon but a witness claims the Uruguay international actually did urinate into a ball can hidden behind a towel with the fifth set in balance at 9-8.

Pablo Cuevas and his teammate Marcel Granollers were once again handed a code violation in the game after Cuevas smashed a ball out of the court due to frustration from two double faults.

Britain’s Jonny Marray and Adil Shamasdin won the tie to progress to the fourth round with a 6-3 4-6 6-4 3-6 14-12 score line.

Speaking after the game, Marray said of the urinating incident:

“Something to do with a can, something to do with bathroom breaks. I don't know what happened.

“I don't think it's ever nice to see. You have to respect the officials regardless of whatever happened in the match.”
