The incident involving Ida Wobker occurred toward the end of the second set of a girls\u2019 singles first-round match on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Romanian opponent Maria Valentina Pop had won the opening set 6-0 and it was 5-5 all in the second when Wobker missed a backhand long and lost her cool. She threw the racket toward the court and it bounced up and into the few rows of stands lining Court 11.<\/p>

It wasn\u2019t clear if the racket hit any spectators but Wobker walked over toward the stands and got her racket back.<\/p>\n

After a lengthy wait for a verdict from tournament officials, the chair umpire announced that Wobker was defaulted for unsportsmanlike conduct.<\/p>
