JJ joins the fray:
Such a hot mess although one tennishead swears they saw brass knuckles in her racquet bag during her "bag check" segment on Tennis Channel.

I thought Toth's name is Kiara. Whoever she is, she should apologize and explain that she learned from it, and everyone should leave her alone. Bullying in response isn't justified.

Re: Tennis Random, Random (On Court)
Agree, but the apology is needed.
If not, a suspension (or at least default from that tournament) should be considered.

Disputed line call creates uproar in Budapest after player erases ball mark with foot
Zhang Shuai quits match after crowd boos her over objection
The Associated Press · Posted: Jul 19, 2023 1:37 PM EDT | Last Updated: 4 hours ago
Chinese tennis player Zhang Shuai quit a match after her opponent rubbed out a ball mark with her foot following a disputed line call at the Budapest Grand Prix.
The second-seeded Zhang retired from the match while trailing 6-5 in the first set against Hungarian opponent Amarissa Toth at the clay-court tournament on Tuesday.
The dispute related to a forehand from Zhang that appeared to be in but was called out. Zhang argued the decision but it stood and the match continued briefly before the disagreement about the line call began again.
As Zhang repeated her protests, Toth walked over to the ball mark and rubbed it out with her foot.
"Wait, wait, wait! Keep the mark," Zhang shouted in response. "What are you doing? Why would you do that?"
Zhang sat crying and shaking her head on her chair for a few moments at the side of the court before quitting.
She shook hands with the main umpire and Toth before appearing to point her fingers at the crowd, which had booed and jeered her for disputing the call.

Re: Tennis Random, Random (On Court)
The WTA had to say something. For once it seems they realized what a s**tshow they have on their hands. This is coming hard on the heels of the Bouzkova/SST fiasco.
What can they do though? Would they dare cancel the tournament?

1. Institute a clear cut rule regarding any actions like this one.
2. Sanction the tournament if indeed nothing was done by them.
3. Put the offending player on probation.
Just throwing ideas out there.

Re: Tennis Random, Random (On Court)
Uhm, I think it was not the celebration, right? It was the running over and erasing the mark.
What am I missing?

Both. Raising her arms in celebration when Zhang shook her hand was horrible form.
