Russia`s young tennis player Anastasiya Rodionova became the second player in WTA history to be disqualified from a match.

Rodiova was disqualified for unsportsmanlike behaviour during her opener against Angelique Kerber.

She is said to have smashed a ball at Kerber`s fans which caused the historic decision.

"I am shocked as I don`t know why they have thrown me out of the tournament," said Rodionova.

"I`ve never heard of similar cases."

"There was no one I smashed the ball at, there is no one I`ve had a row with and there were no rackets thrown onto the court by me."
