With the recent Paris Masters 1000 spat between Rafael Nadal and Ubi Scanagatta, let's take a look at some other less publicized player/reporter confrontations that got somewhat tense...
All in this article.
I remember a few others, Hewitt was asked a dumb question in a press conference room which I can't remember and replied "That's why youre sitting there and I'm sitting here." Don't remember what the dumb question was.
Also in the Marcelo Rios book there is a story where Bud Collins asked Rios a question in Rome and Rios flat out said, "I will not answer a question from that man." It stemmed from some TV interview Collins did and he talked about Rios wasting his talent.
Anybody remember any other reporter vs player confrontations?
