Germany's Tamara Korpatsch refused to shake hands with China's Wang Xinyu following a heated exchange between the pair at the French Open.
The German player took the match 6-2, 2-6, 6-3 but tension lingered throughout when Wang made her way over to Korpatsch's side of the court to inspect a ball mark, after it was called out.
Wang believed her shot landed inside the baseline, only for her opponent to point to a ball mark outside the court.

The Chinese player was booed by the crowd for crossing the net and received a code violation for unsportsmanlike conduct.
The contentious point was at a crucial moment in the match, with Korpatsch on set point on Wang's serve at the end of the first frame.
Things flared up again at the net once the match had concluded, with both players chirping at each other before walking away without the customary handshake.
"It was a really long ball from her, and I saw it out. I don't know if the line umpire called it out or not, but there were two ball marks, actually," Korpatsch said.
"One was an old one and the other one was the new one. Both of them were out, so it doesn't matter.
"I didn't know which one was the right one but the chair umpire came down and showed the mark, and it was out.
"Also on the TV, they showed the Hawk-Eye and it was like eight millimetres out. She came on my side, because she didn't believe it.

"At the end, we didn't have a handshake because she told me she's not okay with that, with the ball marks.
"I can't say I'll gift her the point. I'm a bit surprised, because we have a good relationship, we're not enemies.
"I didn't offer her my hand because that's not fair for me. She was unfair to come on my side, and I'm not an unfair player."
The French Open operates differently than other grand slams when it comes to line calls.
The Paris tournament does not rely on electronic line calling, as officials can inspect traces left by the ball on the clay to help them make decisions.
Korpatsch revealed what was said at the net.
"I think she said something like she thought I'm not a fair player or something like that, but I don't know how. We have one of the best chair umpires on the court, and I don't know how to cheat, honestly," Korpatsch said.
"There are cameras on court and they can check everything. For me, it would be embarrassing to cheat like that.
"I'm honest, that when I was running, I thought the ball is out, and was like 'okay, which one is it?' I didn't know which mark.
"For that, we have the umpire."
