But ‘s late winner was the least of the 19-year-old’s concerns as she complained throughout the contest.
champion moaned repeatedly to the umpire that Krejcikova deserved a hindrance call after undergoing treatment in the dressing room during a second-set medical time-out.
After losing said set, Andreeva appeared to shout towards her team, saying: “I don’t need it, I don’t want to hear it.”
In the third and deciding set, she called for a point to be replayed after ripping her bracelet, scattering beads behind the baseline, though her pleas fell on deaf ears.
Andreeva was confused and almost offended when the crowd cheered as she sent a backhand long and out.
But the crowd wasn’t cheering her errant shot – they were celebrating Kane’s second goal that gave in the round of 32 at the World Cup.
It was another loose shot from Andreeva that would seal her fate as she watched another forehand sail past the baseline.
With that, she tossed her racket in the direction of her – and with visible frustration written all over her face.
"Beads everywhere!"
