(VIDEO) "This is bulls***": Victoria Azarenka goes on expletive laden rant as hawk-eye goes wrong in Indian Wells loss

Zheng Qinwen got a confidence boosting win during the night seeing off Victoria Azarenka after spending most of the early season not getting results. But it was a frustrating affair instead for her opponent.

Azarenka rightfully so at 6-3, 4-4 had every right to fume given that it brought up break point for Zheng Qinwen. The former World No.1 was subject of a dodgy line-call which wasn't the umpire's fault this time.

A lot of the spotlight has gone on the umpires who have been subject even of abuse from players but this time it was the electronic line system who got it wrong even though it was blatantly in Azarenka's favour.

Vika as a result hit back to the umpire: “This is bullsh*t. What is video review for? It’s a clear mark.”

But it fell on deaf ears as it was more frustration as the umpire couldn't do anything something Azarenka said herself.

“I understand but I can’t..” said the umpire. To which Azarenka responded: “I know you can’t do it, it’s just a sh*tty f****** system.”

But it got worse with the expletive laden rant giving Azarenka a code violation. “I have to give you a code for this”

Something which Azarenka did accept though instead of complaining about it but she did go on to lose from there so perhaps she had a point.
