Alison Riske was not happy with the way the umpire handled a call and she threw a tantrum over it and it's quite understandable when you see it.
The doubles match that featured Riske and her partner Fruhvirtova saw the American explode on umpire Nico Helwerth for the way he handled a rather controversial call. The ball struck a player with Riske saying sorry immediately and the umpire calling hindrance awarding the point to their opponents.
He called:
"Ladies and gentlemen due to the hindrance Ms Riske-Amritraj has created, the point goes to Dzalamidze/Panova"
And then explained:
"That's the rule. She said 'sorry' while the ball is in play. I know she doesn't do it on purpose, but that's not the point."
Riske said:
"What the hell is he doing up there then? That's F------ ridiculous. No, no, that's ridiculous. Is he sleeping? Dude. I wouldn't say sorry (before the point is complete). It hit her so I said sorry. So it's my point."
