Ash Barty conqueror's shock admission amid medical timeout 'disgrace'​

Karolina Muchova has made the staggering admission that she wasn't injured when she took a controversial medical timeout against Ash Barty.

Muchova left the Australian Open in shock on Wednesday when she came back from dropping the first set 6-1 to knock Barty out of her home grand slam in the quarter-finals.

However Muchova's win will forever be tainted by controversy after a contentious medical timeout in the second set.

The Czech player called for the trainer after Barty broke her serve to go up 2-1 in the second and appeared to be in tears on her courtside seat.
Muchova then went off court and made Barty wait for around 15 minutes as she received treatment.

From there the 27th-ranked star appeared a completely different player, reeling off nine of the next 11 games to leave Barty in shock.

Fans were left fuming on social media, accusing Muchova of taking the timeout simply as a tactic to break Barty's momentum.
And the Czech player only fuelled the outrage with a startling admission in her post-match interview that she wasn't injured.

When a player says she is dizzy and feels light headed,she has to have her blood pressure checked first and foremost and also her temperature,this was done on court with a doctor, MTO was 10 mins.

I would go the official website of the AO and read Barty's presser and Muchova that would be more reliable to me.

When your opponent takes a MTO.either on court or off court,you have to keep your focus on yourself,not let your opponent get into your head period.Reset and resume play.

The '15 minute time out' in the article which i underlined sounded suss.

The '15 minute time out' in the article which i underlined sounded suss.

Not to mention the word “disgrace” — in quotations marks in the headline — doesn’t appear anywhere in the article.
