Referee forced to intervene and inform snooker star of wardrobe malfunction before game

Wait 5 sec.

Bulcsu Revesz was given an unusual telling off only moments before his Welsh Open clash against John Higgins.The Hungarian was preparing to break off in their last 32 match when his outfit was critiqued for its appearance.Tuzikova wanted Revesz to address his shirt@tntsports XJust after they shook hands, referee Anastasiya Tuzikova said: “Tuck your shirt in properly please.”Revesz obliged by walking to his corner, putting his cue down and then addressing the untucked shirt.He then returned to the table, but went on to narrowly lose 4-3 in the best-of-seven-frames match.Revesz breaches snooker etiquetteReacting on TNT Sports, snooker legend Jimmy White said: “I don’t like this playing in a shirt, I think they should play in a waistcoat.“A lot of the new players, Judd Trump and all that, they all want to play in a polo shirt, but I like the dress suit and the bow tie. “If someone’s shirt is sticking out, you see a lot of players, sometimes they have bought a new shirt and the waistcoat is not the right size and the shirt is sticking out.“So I think it is a good thing that the referee says, ‘Look, smarten yourself up.'”On the other hand, two-time Welsh open finalist Alan McManus sided with Revesz.“I think it was a little bit harsh,” he said.“Look, if I was a referee – I am always harsh on referees – but if I was the referee I would have taken Bulcsu aside very quietly and told him to make sure his shirt was tucked in.”View Tweet: https://t.co/Vbivg3JXnxRevesz then made the correction before beginning play@tntsports XTuzikova may have interfered before play on this occasion, but there was another moment where she was a focal point mid-match.Mark Williams was up against Barry Hawkins in their last 16 match when he took issue with the referee’s movement around the table.“Could you stop moving?” he asked Tuzikova, who appeared shocked at first before Williams, with a grin, said: “Stop moving.”Tuzikova realised that she was moving in his line of sight, and then apologised before moving elsewhere.It was a light-hearted incident that amused many of the crowd at the Welsh Open, which concludes on Sunday.
