I know she doesn't do it on purpose, but that's not the point."<\/p>\n Fruhvitova put her case forward that Riske-Amritaj only apologised after the ball hit her opponent's body, which video replays appeared to back up.<\/p>\n Riske-Amritraj continued to plead before asking for the match supervisor, who she also began to berate.<\/p>\n "What the hell is he doing up there then? That's F—— ridiculous," said Riske-Amritraj.<\/p>\n "No, no, that's ridiculous. Is he sleeping? Dude. I wouldn't say sorry (before the point is complete).\u00a0<\/p>\n "It hit her so I said sorry. So it's my point."<\/p>\n The supervisor offered, "He's seen it differently and it's the umpire's job to see it."<\/p>\n Riske-Amritaj continued her tantrum, diving into a sarcastic rant.<\/p>\n "That makes no sense. Dude. Oh, the way you see it? The way you see it? I'm sure you see it that way.\u00a0<\/p>\n "That's ridiculous. That's absolutely ridiculous. Pay attention. Dude, that's tennis 101."<\/p>\n Riske-Amritraj and Fruhvitova lost the second set but rebounded to win the match 7-6, 4-6, 5-7.\ufeff<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/strong><\/em> clicking here<\/strong><\/em><\/a>!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
