Tennis player retires after opponent wipes away evidence of shocking umpire call

Reacting to footage of the episode (which you can watch at the top of this article), one Twitter user wrote: “The disgusting part is when Toth celebrates as Zhang retires […] Shame on Toth.”

Another said: “Toth rubbed the mark out because she knew it was in and then laughed about it. Zhang had to retire as she was in no fit head [space] to continue. WTA need to suspend the umpire and fine Toth.”

Meanwhile, the user who shared the footage wrote: “I really don’t have words for how bad the umpire was for this mark. @WTA it’s really time you do something and investigate these, they can’t make such big mistakes at this level. This is pure robbery.”
