It started with a debatable decision that was followed by an unsportsmanlike conduct from Toth and ended with Zhang retiring from the match in tears. It started when the first set was tied at 5-5, 15-15 on Zhang&#8217;s serve. The Chinese star hit a cross-court forehand shot that landed really close to the sideline and was called out.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This is so heartbreaking, she called the physio and I think she just couldn&#8217;t handle the pressure and the feelings as she started crying so she retired from the match, the reaction from the crowd and especially Toth, loss for words.

However, Zhang &#8212; who is a two-time Grand Slam champion in women&#8217;s doubles &#8212; kept pleading for the call to be reconsidered. The Chinese tennis star even asked to speak with the tournament supervisor.<\/p>\n<p>During this moment, Zhang&#8217;s opponent Toth was also spotted laughing as the crowd kept mocking the Chinese player.<\/p>\n<p>After the match continued for another point, Toth walked up to the mark and erased it despite Zhang asking her not to do that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wait, wait, wait! Keep the mark,&#8221; said Zhang. &#8220;What are you doing? Why would you do that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The result of the entire incident saw Zhang getting down in tears.
