Spaniard crowd, Robby Ginepri and The “Corna”.

A post about the first round clash between Felicano Lopez and Robbi Ginepri at Mutua Madrilena Masters Series: Pemulis would never thought he'd have done it. Feliciano and Robbi are 2 very nice guys but their match wasn’t exactly the most significant event of the day. But what exactly happened? What he experienced went something like this:
Ginepri was serving, 40-30 and hit an ace. Feliciano challenged the call using Hawk-Eye technology and was correct with the challenge, so Ginepri should have hit the second serve. But the umpire, Lars Graff from Sweden, made a mess, ‘coz he called the wrong score (he said “Deuce” instead of second serve to Ginepri), so the American player complained in order to clarify the mistake and get the right score. At this point the crowd thought Ginepri was questioning the accuracy of the Hawk-Eye and became very unruly. They were booing very loudly, continuing to grumble. Then Ginepri made the “horned hand” (The “Corna”) gesture and, from there on, all hell broke loose. Maybe Robbi didn’t mean to anger the crowd (In United States the same gesture is used for warding off the bad luck or the evil eye). He probably didn’t realize that it has a vulgar meaning in Mediterranean countries. "Pem" is Italian and in Italy the “horns” are placed behind someone’s head, meaning that that person is being cheated on by his wife (or her husband).
Now the Spaniards criticize the lack of manners from Ginepri, the Americans think the “ridiculous” crowd overreacted. Pemulis is troubled about the increasing trend of patriottic, rude and disrespecting crowds sitting in the stands of a tennis match. It ain’t the disgusting football, please (per favore, s'il Vous Plait, Var sä god, Por Favor).
Two more details regarding the said match:
-Albert Costa and Galo Blanco talked to Feliciano as if they were training, the umpire said nothing;
- Even though this environmental advantage was not small, Feliciano lost to Robbi 6-1 3-6 6-3.
That’s about it.
