WATCH: TENNIS PLAYER ASK GIRL TO PEEL BANANA, GETS SCOLDED BY UMPIRE; LANDS IN TROUBLE!

A recent video on a tennis player is currently making headlines, fans as well as other tennis stars are shocked to see such an incident.

At the recent Australian Open on January 18, French tennis player Elliot Benchetrit was criticized for his behaviour after he asked a ballkid to peel a banana. During the game, he was told off by the match umpire.

This incident took place during Benchetrit's qualifier game against Dmitry Popko. The Frenchman was facing some trouble in peeling the banana as his hand was bandaged, news agency AFP reported. 

The video was shared by tennis writer Alex Theodoridis, where a young ballgirl is seen holding the banana and looking up at match umpire John Blom before giving it to the player. The player is then seen engaged in a serious discussion with the umpire before tossing the banana back in his bag.

The tennis writer captioned the video saying, "so this is the moment where Elliot Benchetrit asks the ballkid to peel his banana. I'm glad the umpire (John Blom) stepped in and told him off."

Meanwhile, other Tennis star like Martina Navratilova hailed the umpire's actions on social. She also commented saying, "What's next- grapes? #entitlement John did the right thing, that's for sure." 

Talking about the match, Benchetrit performed well to beat his opponent by 4-6, 6-2, 6-3. He is all set to take on Japan's Yuichi Sugita today.
