A week ago, when the first-round incident took place, the German tennis player made it clear that it was not she who was the problem. But that the world’s 7th-ranked tennis player made her feel like a cheater, crying out after losing the first round.

For context, the 19-year-old had a little argument with the chair Empire regarding her opponent taking more than the assigned time to serve the game, creating this continuity to the game.
