Ah, tennis season, a time for strawberries and cream and the gentle "thonk! Thonk!" from impossibly neon balls hitting plastic racquet heads. Well, yes – but also a time to remember SCANDALS from times past, and times really quite recent.
For such a polite game (well, squeals and screams and John McEnroe notwithstanding), tennis has seen quite the controversy over the years. We've rounded up some of the most gasp-inducing bad behaviour in the game – as well as some that caused raised eyebrows at the time, but looks positively normal from the viewpoint of 2017.
Let's get this tournament of travails started!
