An incident during a tennis match between China's Zhang Shuai and Hungary's Amarissa Kiara Toth at the Budapest Open on Tuesday gave rise to a huge controversy.
It started with a debatable decision that was followed by an unsportsmanlike conduct from Toth and ended with Zhang retiring from the match in tears.
It started when the first set was tied at 5-5, 15-15 on Zhang's serve. The Chinese star hit a cross-court forehand shot that landed really close to the sideline and was called out.
This is so heartbreaking, she called the physio and I think she just couldn't handle the pressure and the feelings as she started crying so she retired from the match, the reaction from the crowd and especially Toth, loss for words.
