Tense exchange of words at the net during the round of 16 of the Us open: Garbine Muguruza did not go down the 6 minutes of medical timeout of Barbora Krejcikova, who at the end of the break recovered the disadvantage and defeated her in two set.
"Thank you, I'm sorry" said the Czech tennis player at the end of the match, hearing the response from the Spaniard she shook hands with: "He is so unprofessional".
Krejcikova called the timeout when her opponent was beating her 6-5 during the second set. "I was going through a terrible moment in the last phase of the match, I couldn't even breathe and it was very overwhelming because I don't know what was going on. I started to feel very dizzy, everything was moving in my mind, that's why I requested" the pause, said the Czech woman, according to the website puntodebreak.com. Once back, she recovered and won. Muguruza instead interpreted that stop as a way to cut the pace of the match at a time when he was in shape and could take the challenge towards a third set.
Similar gestures that would also have been committed by Tsitsipas have been talked about in the male circuit.
