During a game at the French Open this week, Ukrainian tennis player Sergiy Stakhovsky was dissatisfied with a referee’s decision and pulled out his iPhone to prove him wrong.

Disputing a shot by Richard Gasquet which the chair saw as in, the opponent, Sergiy Stakhovsky, reportedly laid down his racket and took out an iPhone 5 to take a close-up shot of the area where the ball had landed.

He didn’t stop there. He tweeted the image in question, with high hopes that the French Open officials will reconsider the referee’s decision, in an effort to win back some prize money.

“I believe it was a bad call, it was a bad judgment. After all, we are playing on clay, where you should be clearly able to read the mark,” said Stakhovsky, “and unfortunately, not all of our referees are able to do so.”
