TCU tennis player publicly reprimanded by Big 12 Conference for spitting on Texas Tech fan

By MATT HOWE

During last Friday’s men’s tennis match between the TCU Horned Frogs and the Texas Tech Red Raiders, TCU junior Juan Martin spit on a Texas Tech fan while leaving the court. Martin lost the singles match to Texas Tech’s Isaac Arevalo 7-5, 5-4, unfinished.

On Wednesday, Martin was issued a public reprimand from the Big 12 Conference commissioner’s office.

In accordance with Big 12 Conference sportsmanship policies, TCU men’s tennis student-athlete Juan Martin has been issued a public reprimand for his conduct during Friday’s match at Texas Tech. The reprimand is in addition to a two-match suspension levied by TCU in response to Martin spitting on a Red Raider fan while leaving the court.

I hadn't heard about this so don't have detail on the circumstances, but this is not good. Of course, there is a mitigating factor (it's Tech), but still.

Next time he should spit on some tortillas in advance and throw those instead.

Posted this question in the Tennis thread but wondered if he spit on the fan from a distance in excess of 6' and if not is Tech being sanctioned for improper fan control that endangers a player with possible COVID infection.

You can buy spit in Lubbock by the bottle....Red Raiders love spit. It's the lougie capital of the world.

As for TCU..... we'll just keep spitting blood.
