Pro Tennis warned for taking too much time early in the match and drew a penalty point for "abuse of officials" during a prolonged discussion about a line call. The game point penalty came in the 11th game of the third set when Dibbs verbally assaulted Birner who was at the time objecting to a line call. "Abuse of an opponent," rmpire Catalani said after a confeience with tournament and tour officials. Catalani wouldn't talk with reporters, but Dibbs said, "I didn't insult her. I just told her, 'You're better off at home, you're screwing up the match.'" Of his running battle with Birner, Dibbs said they had tangled during the North Conway tournament last year. "I guess it was just bad feelings." And on his refusal to take part in the tradih tional handshake, he said: "There's no rule that I have to shake an opponent's hand.
