Give these kids a break, they’re not seasoned professionals and shouldn’t be expected to always make the perfect choices. But to boo the kid in the subsequent game, that’s shameful!

No excuse for the crowd booing him. Period.
But you can’t excuse his behavior. These players have played in hundreds of tournaments (maybe dozens) to this point in their career. An 18 year old is fully capable of losing with class and I’d expect better of kids much younger than that.
He apologized so hopefully that means he owns his mistake and is learning from it.
