About this listen

American tennis player Reilly Opelka found himself in hot water during the 2025 BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells. In his first-round match against Roman Safiullin on March 5, 2025, Opelka lost 7-5, 6-4 amid a dispute over poor lighting conditions. Frustrated by the lack of visibility, he confronted the chair umpire, refusing to continue play until the lights were turned on. He even requested a medical timeout to underscore his point. Eventually, the lights were activated, but the damage was done—Opelka was hit with an $80,000 fine by the ATP.
