Millies opponent absolutely hurled her racquet after losing last point!

She was so close to hitting the umpire - if she'd done that during the match that would be a certain default - not sure if any action will follow though.

Yes - you sort of feel she should lose her SF prize money or something - utterly reckless and dangerous

I just watched it again, and I think the racquet did actually hit the umpire.

Looking at the ITF rules, the tournament supervisor does have the power to issue a default, with loss of points and prize money plus a fine.

Even after the last point has been played and finished?

Doesn't say it only applies within the match. "Players shall not violently or with anger hit, kick, or throw a racquet or other equipment within the precincts of the tournament site."

Perfect

Now, it's true, Katy Dunne absolutely, 'in anger', violently threw her racquet this week

BUT it didn't hit anyone - or nearly hit anyone

The Belgian girl was completely out of order

Well done to Lauryn & Millie on winning the doubles.

I'm suprised Katy lost. I went out when she was a set and a break up

F:- Lauryn John-Baptiste (GBR) / Amelia Rajecki (GBR) CR986 (794+192) def Alicia Dudeney (GBR) / Katarina Kuzmova (SVK) (229+247) CR476 [3] 4-6 6-3 10-8

Good luck to Millie in the final.

Nice to see her get to a 35 final. Been waiting for he to take the next step

paulisi · Tennis legend

Kuzmova keeps on finding a way to win.

the addict · Tennis legend

F:- Katarina Kuzmova (SVK) WR366 [4] def Amelia Rajecki (GBR) WR521 1-6 7-5 6-3

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

That's an irritating third-set winning habit that Kuzmova has

But well done to Millie (and to Hannah and Katy who also lost to Kuzmova in three)

And just to prove you can be defaulted after the match is completed... https://www.instagram.com/reel/DW6KThZiPvq/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
