Greece tennis star Maria Sakkari and Russia's Daria Kasatkina have been criticised by some fans on social media after they opted to side with Shuai Zhang in her line controversy with Amarissa Toth.
The tennis world was rocked by the events that took place during the Hungary Open where Zhang retired from the match first-round match against Toth after a line controversy which left her in tears as well.
During the same match, Toth went on to remove the ball mark near the line which was a matter of controversy, something that did not go well with Shuai who was even booed by the crowd sitting in the arena.
Following that incident, a lot of stars supported the Chinese tennis star and criticised Toth. Out of them, some were extremely critical.
Sakkari and Kasatkina were a few of them as the former event went on to ask for a ban for Toth in a post on her social media.
That did not go down well with some fans on Twitter who asked the two to get off their ‘high horses’.
