Abuse and aggression
Aggressive or unsporting behaviour towards officials, opponents, partners, spectators or anyone linked to the tournament is treated very seriously. Contemptuous remarks count as verbal abuse even if they are not insults.
Apartado 1: Treated with particular gravity
Aggressive or unsporting behaviour, attitudes and gestures by players are treated especially seriously.
Apartado 2: Towards anyone at the event
This covers behaviour towards the head umpire, the umpire, opponents, partners, spectators or anyone else connected with the tournament.
Apartado 3: Insults are verbal abuse
Insults count as verbal abuse.
Apartado 4: Belittling remarks count too
Any remark that is contemptuous or belittling also counts as verbal abuse, even if it is not an insult as such. Sneering at an opponent can be abuse without a single swear word.
