Tursunov kicked out of tournament
NOTTINGHAM OPEN

Tursunov was due to play Thomas Johansson in the singles
Dmitry Tursunov has been thrown out of the Slazenger Open in Nottingham after storming off court.

The Russian, partnering South Africa's Chris Haggard in the doubles, quit with the pair trailing Italy's Simone Bolelli and Andreas Seppi 6-4, 3-1.

Tursunov was due to play Swede Thomas Johansson in the second round of the singles, but will take no further part.

"After reviewing the situation, the ATP supervisor has withdrawn Tursunov from the tournament," read an ATP statement.

The 25-year-old stormed off court after disagreeing with a line call, but it was expected he would only be fined for his actions.

However, his exit now means Johansson progresses through to the quarter-finals of the tournament.
