The point is that if he broke the ball with the edge, it should be a let! And Dima didn't share the ball to come to a consensus.

In my opinion, it was mostly the umpire's fault in this situation. After the point, Dima took the ball, saw that it was broken, took it to the referee and showed it. The umpire agreed that the ball was broken and gave Dima a new ball. So, it was clear that the point should've been replayed. Shibaev's complaint came before the umpire announced the score "2 all", so his complaint was that Dima didn't show him the ball before replacing it, which was the least of the issues, forgetting that the point should be replayed. That's why I think that it was just a reason to get on Dima's nerves. Of course, Dima's action was disrespectful and he knew it, you could hear his voice was trembling when talking to the umpire.
