Grigor Dimitrov angrily confronted a fan after it appeared the tennis star was tripped up at the Shanghai Masters.
Footage captured by a supporter at the Shanghai Masters shows Dimitrov walking through a crowd of people, before appearing to stumble.
The ATP ace quickly returns to his feet but turns around and gives a stern look in the direction of who he believes caused him to trip.
Gregor was pissed. No idea what exactly happened. Might be he was tripped by a fan on his way out after the match

Speaking after his win over Alexei Popyrin but before the incident with the trip, Dimitrov said: “I saw the stats a little bit, and that said it all. I think I was just very happy that I was able to play a good match, that’s all.
“I didn’t really want to expect too much of my game, but all I knew was that if I did the right things, if I was serving well, returning well, and using every opportunity I had, it was enough, it was plenty.
“I think after that first set tiebreak I started to read the game a little bit more. I think his serve kind of changed its direction a little bit, I was able to read his serve very well. Ultimately, I found a good, yeah, a good distance between me and the ball and I was executing very well.”

Commenting on his next opponent, teenage sensation Jakub Mensík, he added: “Oh, another battle. I mean, now I think the years are becoming (laughing) longer, like a bigger stretch, but that’s okay.
“Yeah, another match, honestly, just another match. I played him once this year, Madrid, if I remember correct. Yeah, difficult match, I think, on both ends. He grabbed that one. So, yeah, very dangerous opponent.
“But, again, I like how my progress is going so far, so I’m looking forward to it.”
Dimitrov faces Mensík in the Shanghai Masters fourth round on Wednesday morning.
