The Women's Tennis Association is investigating what it called an"unfortunate incident" at the Hungarian Grand Prix earlier this week, which sparked accusations of racism and poor sportsmanship as well as an outpouring of support for Chinese tennis champion Zhang Shuai.
The dispute happened when a shot from Zhang appeared to land inside the boundary line on Toth's side, but was ultimately called out. Zhang later asked for a supervisor to review the call, but before anyone arrived, Toth approached the spot on the court where Zhang's ball had landed and rubbed it out with her foot. The incident was captured on video since the match was televised.
Zhang was then seeing crying briefly along the sidelines of the court before shaking hands with Toth and the umpire, and retiring from the match while the crowd booed.
