WATCH: Wawrinka directs anger toward Minister of State

The Swiss fell in the third round in Paris to Jan-Lennard Struff.

Published Nov 03, 2016

In Paris, two men caught in the direct line of fire from Stan Wawrinka during his loss to Jan-Lennard Struff just happened to be Jean-Vincent Placé, France's Minister of State for State Reform and Simplification and Jean Gachassin, the president of the French Tennis Federation.

The Swiss' comments roughly translate to: "If you don't mind, we're playing a game?" and "No, but seriously... It's midnight, if you did not want to watch, you can go home."

Though Wawrinka was spouting some rough words, it's unclear who he actually meant to reprimand.

And he only had this to say on Twitter:

If you need a translation for that one, it's "Very classy."

Wawrinka lost the second-round encounter to the world No. 91, 3-6, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (1).
