PARIS - Dutch fifth seed Kiki Bertens was accused of faking injury as she was taken off court in a wheelchair after a stormy Roland Garros second round win over former finalist Sara Errani on Wednesday .
Errani, the 2012 runner-up, had a match point but was also handed a time violation for taking too long to serve.The marathon tie featured 24 breaks of serve with Bertens firing 61 winners but committing 63 unforced errors. Errani stormed off court, refusing to"racquet tap" with Bertens before screaming an obscenity in Italian as she stomped off Court 14 having also appeared to mock her opponent's injury."She leaves the court in a chair and now she's in the locker room and eating in the restaurant, perfect. She exaggerated. What a shot to finish!
