You made a fuss out of it... and trouble for yourself!': Remorseless tennis star, 20, whose 'new low for sportsmanship' behaviour led to her opponent's panic attack, hits out at her rival - and WON'T be thrown out of the tournament
Hungarian player Amarissa Toth whose 'disgusting' acts during her Budapest Open match against Zhang Shuai shocked the tennis world has denied that her behaviour was inappropriate.
Zhang, a former world No 22, retired from the clay court match in floods of tears after the 20-year-old erased a ball mark following a disputed line call.
The 34-year-old had struck a crosscourt forehand which appeared to land on the line, only for the umpire to call the shot out.
The Chinese tennis player argued with the umpire and called for the tournament supervisor for several minutes whilst being mocked and jeered by the crowd, and Toth added to the noise, laughing at Shuai as she became increasingly frustrated.
The match restarted only momentarily before the dispute continued, with Toth erasing the mark made on the clay to the disapproval of Zhang.
