Garbine Muguruza<\/a> did not like how her topsy-turvy fourth-round match at the US Open<\/a> against Barbora Krejcikova ended \u2013 and that was not just because Muguruza lost.<\/p>\n

It also had to do with what Krejcikova did toward the end of her 6-3, 7-6 (4) victory that finished after 1am (New York time) as Sunday became Monday \u2013 behaviour that two-time major title winner Muguruza told the reigning Roland-Garros<\/a> champion was "so unprofessional" during a brief-as-can-be handshake at the net.<\/p>\n

Told by a reporter afterward that she seemed upset, two-time major champion Muguruza replied: "Well, I think, between players, you know a little bit how to behave in certain moments and, yeah, I wasn't very happy at the end of the match."<\/p>\n

The eighth-seeded Krejcikova took a medical timeout while down 6-5 in the second set after saying she wanted to see the trainer. When play resumed after the break, Krejcikova won seven points in a row.<\/p>\n

She also angered the ninth-seeded Muguruza by taking her time between points down the stretch, slowly walking over to her towel.<\/p>\n

When the match was done, Krejcikova stayed in her sideline chair, hunched over, until eventually leaving the court with some assistance and looking wobbly.<\/p>\n

She did not appear at her post-match media conference.<\/p>\n

In comments distributed by the US Tennis Association, Krejcikova said: "At the end, I was really struggling and I feel really bad right now. I don't really know what happened, but I couldn't breathe. I started to feel dizzy, and the whole world was shaking. It never happened to me before."<\/p>\n

Krejcikova is headed to the US Open quarterfinals in her singles debut at the hard-court grand slam tournament.<\/p>\n

Krejcikova had participated in the main draw of singles at only four slams \u2013 two each at the Australian Open<\/a> and Roland-Garros \u2013 before collecting the title at Roland-Garros in June.<\/p>\n

She also won her third grand slam doubles trophy in Paris.<\/p>\n

Krejcikova then got to the fourth round in her first singles appearance at Wimbledon<\/a> in July, before adding this run at Flushing Meadows.<\/p>\n

Muguruza won the Roland-Garros in 2016 and Wimbledon in 2017, and she was the runner-up at the Australian Open last year.<\/p>\n

But she has never made it past the fourth round in nine trips to the US Open.<\/p>\n
