Wimbledon 2010: Victor Hanescu Spits at the crowd – [Unseen Footage]
Four spectators have been arrested at Wimbledon after an incident involving Romanian player Victor Hanescu. TV pictures appeared to show Hanescu spitting towards fans after allegedly being verbally abused. He then walked off court during his third round match. Police said four youths were held under the Public Order Act after Hanescu had complained to officers. A Wimbledon spokesman said it was possible the allegation of spitting and the arrests were not related incidents. The controversy unfolded on Court 18 as Hanescu found himself 3-0 down in the fifth set against Germany’s Daniel Brands. “The initial thought was that the four people arrested were part of the same spitting incident,” said the Wimbledon official. “But the thinking now is that possibly they weren’t. That was just a random coincidence. Therefore this alleged spitting incident is directed at a different person or people who we don’t know.” A Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said: “Police were called to Court 18 following a disturbance. “Four youths were arrested. They have all been taken to a south London station under section five of the Public Order Act.” Wimbledon referee Andrew Jarrett has requested a recording of the incident to see if any further action will be taken against the player, who effectively quit the tournament by defaulting his match. “The umpire issued a code violation for unsportsmanlike conduct that covers things like spitting and swearing,” added the Wimbledon official. “His report …
BRAVO HANESCU!
a făcut bine
a fost tot din vina celor care au fost englezi rasiste în public
Mi-ar fi făcut acelaşi lucru
did well
was all the fault of those Englishmen who were racist in public
I did the same thing
@melliuzza : yes, we are/ If you don’t care, then don’t post here
The umpire gave warning to Victor. I don’t think it is an proper issue to this situation. He should stop the interruption, or call police first, or do whatever an umpire have to do. He just sit there and do nothing. What kind of the umpire he is? keep order of the inside and outside tennis court is his duty. I am willing to say Fxxx in front of the umpire, see how he felt.
way to go H. way to go…u should just waited for the dumb asses outside with a couple of your other buddies present there and just let them better know the difference between a Gipsy’s and real Romanian people,good to go on every other comment just show us all how good and respectful the new way is…I’m pretty sure this is a mentality by now,it never died(the MENTALITY)FASCISM started the same way,couple o incidents here,couple o incidents there,everybody else knows the after result,right??
still arguing ? sad people
English people are becoming like Americans, they cant differentiate between a gypsy and a Romanain, very strange.
He is a good looking guy, and those genetically mutated English creatures need a plastic surgery, the entire country does starting from their ugly royalty.
@ballershanelle You’re better off living in a plastic bubble (remember to seal it so no saliva – preferably air – would be able to get in the bubble). Go suck a carrot or smth.
@ballershanelle mori in chinuri. thx.
i would have had him arrested for assault. wtf??? this is gravely as hurtful to my personal safety, if i caught something from this dudes saliva! He should be suspended for the rest of the year and fined. wtf!! beyond and deserving a harsh punishment. this game is not for thugs or personal attacks
@alina2681 My life’s awesome in bucharest. probably safest city i’ved worked/lived to date. i gotta go shop in carrefour right now..i’ll give u a more frustrated reply later on… ciao!
@Sempertacsil And there’s another thing…you don’t know me or how italiens or others look at me so stop criticizing who you don’t know… Racism is a big-bad word and many people from all the countryes are racists and lately it seams it’s contagious but i can assure you that i’m not one of them so put your anger and frustrations on someone else… Have a good life!!!
@Sempertacsil You got it all wrong. I am the last pearson in the world you can call a racist, since i have very good friends from at least 7 different countryes and i ceartanly not incourage violence or racism. What i wanted to say is that those 3 or 4 pearsons who insulted H desearved to be spited, as they were extreamly agressive and they actually wished him that his moter (who is very sick) died. Put yourself in his shues…thet’s what i did and i think i have the right to an oppinion…
Very good! Somebody said some bad words about his mother. He should KILL the motherfucker !!!!
@vinniebello well put homes

this gut should be banned for spitting. and andy murray should be banned for being scottish.
Bravo Hanescu!!
boner
Hahaha I just had a look at other pages and your username seem to pop-up at least 2-3 times on each page. Obviously, there are not ‘hundreds’ of posts (I think…), it just seemed like a lot of replies. I didn’t read them all but the ones I did read included insults towards one or more users. For me that’s not entertainment, then again.. each of us have a different sense of humor.
Even though he did have ‘unsportsman like’ behavior he did try to shake the umpire’s hand and he also shook his opponent’s hand before he left the court.Im not saying spitting at spectators is right but maybe he was just having an off day and didnt know how to control his anger.Ive seen Victor play before and he always seemed to have a good attitude during matches
@fr33pr0d It’s hard to have a “social life” while stuck as a “nightguard at the ice cream factory”(your words) from 1800 to 0600. YOU view my posts between other youtubers as ‘arguing.’ I see it as entertainment…which you probably see as same. Or else how would u have come to the conclusion that i’ve posted ‘hundreds’ of replies on this vid? hmmmm…. geeez fr33pr0d, are you STALKING me and my posts???? alright, ’bout 3 more hrs to go.
@Sempertacsil That’s one way of saying ‘night guard at the ice cream factory’ LOL
