The incident occured in the crucial moments of second set. Flavia reacted angrily towards the umpire, who had overruled a backhand passing shot by her that had initially been called in.This overrule gave a matchpoint to Mauresmo. Pennetta has been fined $2,000 for her behaviour.
"There are no limits anymore in the behaviour a player can have with an umpire. It is unbelievable. When Zidane headbutts Materazzi he's kicked out. It's crystal clear. To me this decision is unacceptable. She gave the finger - she should have been removed right away."- said Amelie.
Just after this incident Mauresmo double faulted on the match point.
"I lost my rhythm because we had to wait for play to resume but I'm not looking for excuses."- she said.
"I am not pleased with myself but that's the first time such a thing has happened to me - it was a gruelling match from the start and I lost control as I really thought the ball was in,"- said the Italian.
Would you expect this from Flavia Pennetta? We certainly wouldn't.
