Player threatens to urinate in ball can and leads sit-down protest at Wimbledon

A marathon match was overshadowed by anger vented at the French umpire.

Pablo Cuevas staged a sit-down protest against the umpire and threatened to urinate in a ball can during his and Marcel Granollers' bad-tempered doubles defeat at Wimbledon on Monday.

Uruguay's Cuevas and Spaniard Granollers lost 6-3 4-6 6-4 3-6 14-12 to Britain's Jonathan Marray and Canadian Adil Shamasdin but a marathon match was overshadowed by anger vented at French umpire Aurelie Tourte.
