CONSTANTA, Romania (AP) " Romania Fed Cup captain Ilie Nastase was thrown out of the playoff against Britain after abusing players and the umpire on Saturday. International Tennis Federation president David Haggerty condemned Nastase for his "unacceptable behavior," and the body also began an investigation. With Britain's Johanna Konta leading Sorana Cirstea 6-2, 1-2, Nastase became embroiled in a row apparently about noise from the crowd. You're stupid, you're stupid." Nastase, nicknamed "Nasty" in his playing days, won two Grand Slam singles titles and was world No.
