Brazilian Marcos Daniel is being investigated by Australian Open organizers for an alleged altercation with a spectator following his first-round loss to Colombia's Alejandro Falla.
The Age newspaper reported Wednesday that Daniel had a dispute with Colombian spectators, and that a woman was caught in a disagreement between her brother and the 31-year-old player. No further details were available.
"The referee's office is looking into it," a Tennis Australia spokesman confirmed Wednesday.
The No. 87-ranked Daniel, a cousin of Brazilian football referee Carlos Eugenio Simon, has only been past the first round once at 14 Grand Slam events.
International Tennis Federation rules bar competitors from "the unauthorized touching of an official, opponent, spectator or other person." Violations can result in fines of up to $10,000.
