We all remember the legendary outburst of John McEnroe. His famous, "You cannot be serious!" at the 1981 Wimbledon Championship, has become a part of sports pop culture. On Tuesday tennis had another player going berserk out on the court. At the Italian Open in Rome, Viktor Troicki of Serbia was losing badly against Ernest Gulbis. His shot was called out by Umpire Cedric Mourier in the second set, and that's when all the darmatics started. Arguing with Mourier, Troicki tried to prove his case that the ball was in. At one point he pointed to the sky and shouted, "There is no chance it's out. From the space you can see it's there!" To his credit, Mourier stayed calmed and tried to explain what he saw. Troicki wasn't buying it and even yanked a cameraman, at one point, over to the spot to further the antics. Troicki would lose boths sets 6-1, 6-1.
