In the first round match between Chinese players and Amalisa Toth (Hungary) in the first round of the WTA250 Budapest on July 18, local time, Tott, who was criticized for forcing Zhang Shuai into abstention, refuted it.
In response to the suspected unfair punishment of Chinese player Zhang Shuai in Hungary recently, the WTA released news that it will investigate the incident.
The cause was that in the middle of the first set of this match, Zhang Shuai's shot was ruled out of bounds. After that, the traces of the ball seemed to hang on the line, so Zhang Shuai strongly protested. But just then, Toth made the "stupid act" of wiping the ball with his foot, and the referee let her go without hesitation. I don't know why there were boos to Zhang Shuai on the venue, and Zhang Shuai, who was shocked by this, finally chose to withdraw because of the mental blow.

For this series of incidents, the condemnation of Tott rose wave after wave, and the American broadcasting company "FOX" reported a strong debate from Toth on the 20th: "The young Hungarian player did not apologize, in fact, he just accused Zhang Shuai of making a fuss." ”
Tóth confessed his claims to the local state-run radio station Kosht. She said: "I don't understand why she (Zhang Shuai) overturned the referee's decision. As a result, she just looked forward to controversy. ”
The picture shows Toth competing with Zhang Shuai. Belgium's Bonaventur said it was "a shame" to see Toth celebrating and Zhang Shuai withdrawing in tears.
It seems that Tóth refuted her criticism head-on. The nonsensical rhetoric directed at Tóth is expected to cause an uproar.
