Ok, some of us know David Nalbandian isn't a nice guy, but now pretty much every one knows.

He was defaulted from the finals of the Queen's Club grass tournament today when he kicked the area around a line judge's chair, hitting a piece of wood and cutting and injuring the shin of said line judge.

After checking on the line judge, the chair umpire decided to end the match, giving the win to Marin Cilic.

"He's actually quite seriously injured," tournament director Chris Kermode said. "Rules are rules. The ATP have forced us to end the final with a code violation."

The line judge was taken to the medical center.
