However, Cirstea was left furious following the first set when Muchova chose to leave the court for an extended period.

Cirstea wanted to get on with the match and had a heated exchange with the umpire over the matter.

'I am the one waiting for her to serve,' Cirstea told the official.

'I don't understand what you want from me.'

'She went for a change of shirt and usually you don't do that when you've got the momentum,' Dokic said in commentary for Channel Nine.
