Yes indeed. You could also have added:
Dung claims that the referee, in calling the ball out, is being a
"nitpicking semanticist".
Dung refuses to accept the referee's decisions, and continues to play
as though he has won each point. Dung then claims victory, and months
later refers back to the match as an example of his incredible skills
at tennis (cf. motorist terrorist, petrol cheaper than water).
Dung calls the opponent a "hypocrite" each time the opponent scores a
point.
