Davis Cup Collision: Chile beat Belgium when Cristian Garin refuses to play after the Zizou Bergs incident

Chile lost its Davis Cup qualifier against Belgium when Cristian Garin refused to continue playing after being beaten by the opponent Zizou Bergs.

In a change during his Singles match in Hasselt, a bell of celebration and jumper hit him in his face with his right shoulder.

Bergs apologized immediately and Garin was authorized to play after receiving medical care.

Bergs received a violation of the code for unsportsmanlike behavior, but Chile asked him to be disqualified.

Garin received three successive time violations for refusing to play, which resulted in a penalty of the game to give Berg a 6-3 4-6 7-5 victory and ensure that Chile won the 3-1 draw.
