www.dailymail.co.uk, July 20, 2023
During the Budapest Open on Tuesday, Hungary's Amarissa Toth (right) 20 met China's Zhang Shuai (bottom left and center). Shuai was a highly tense line call at 5 p.m., but her opponent Toth rubbed out the mark with her foot (top right) and the umpire upheld the initial call. Screenshots of the ball mark indicate that it was clearly in, and that the call should have been reversed, and that Toth's behavior was condemned on social media. However, the Hungarian tournament organisers leapt to Toth's defense in a tumultuous Facebook post, rather than blaming China for the media coverage the incident has received.

You made a fuss out of it... and it was a lot of work for you!' "No one will be kicked out of the tournament, except for her remorseless tennis player, 20, who had a "new low on sportsmanship" caused her adversary's panic attack, has struck out at her opponent, and she will not be barred."
