Following yesterday’s unsportsmanlike behavior from Hungarian tennis player Amarissa Toth, the world has reacted to this in a very aggressive way protesting against her. Several tennis players have taken a stand for Shuai Zhang, who is believed to have been robbed of a point during her first-round matchup at the Hungarian Open.

Shuai Zhang was seen in tears after the incident was caused also leading to a severe panic attack. She was then treated by the on-court doctors finally leaving the match in the middle. She was so heartbroken to see her opponent try out a tactic that is considered cheating. Toth tried to remove the lines on the court so that the umpires could not check again on a point that was previously awarded to the Hungarian.

A picture has been going viral on Twitter recently after the incident went viral with Toth being seen posing alongside Nick Kyrgios. Fans have drawn great similarities between the two players with many stating that Toth might have learned these cheating tactics from the Australian. Though nothing the fans is gonna change the fact that Toth is the only one guilty here and Krygios has nothing to do with it, heavy trolls keep on coming at him.

Nick Kyrgios is well known for his new ways and tactics for winning a point during a match. He is a player that you don’t see very often nowadays trying out new ideas on the court and entertaining the crowd whenever possible. But all we know about Kyrgios, we know this for sure that he is not a cheat, and never in his past games has he used any modes of cheating.

Sharing a wide spectrum of reactions online, here’s what fans have to say:

Despite this, the fans do hate him for his tremendous skill set and various range of shots that are sometimes too cheeky for any individuals to applaud. He uses a rare mode of service technique known to many as the ‘underarm serve’ that can sometimes catch the opponent by surprise. This use of the underarm serve is often seen by many fans as a cheat although it doesn’t void any rules of tennis whatsoever.
