Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva tried to take the umpire to task after her run at Wimbledon was ended in controversial fashion as she was docked a point.
The 16-year-old took the first set of her fourth round match 6-3 against Madison Keys but then was given a warning for throwing her racquet after the American levelled the match via a tiebreak. And it was the 25th seed who then assumed control in the decider, leaving 5-2 and on deuce when Andreeva, serving to stay in the contest, seemingly repeated the offence.
The young star did appear to be off balance at the time, and duly protested to umpire Julie Kjendlie, arguing: "I didn't throw the racquet, I slid." She did manage to save the match point that followed, only for Keys to take the next two to seal a 3-6 7-6 (7-4) 6-2 victory.
