China’s Zhang Shuai retired with tears in her eyes from her Hungarian Grand Prix match after her local opponent Amarissa Toth erased a ball mark on the clay court following a disputed line call.<\/p>\n

Second seed Zhang hit a forehand that appeared to land on the line but was called out by the line judge. The umpire then stepped down to take a look at the mark and confirmed the ball had landed outside the line. Zhang was incensed by the call and asked to speak with the tournament supervisor.<\/p>\n

The match continued for one more point but the disagreement over the disputed call continued, before Toth decided to erase the mark with her shoe.<\/p>\n
