Did Barty get cheated?

[belmore_utd]

So Barty was absolutely feeding her opponent an early holiday up 1 set and a break early in the 2nd and her opponent never looked liked getting near her.
Then Muchovic or whatever calls a medival timeout and Dr Anabolic Popalotov takes her out the back and when she returns didnt step a foot wrong and wiped Ash off the court.

Was Barty cheated?

She wasn't cheated, but she lost under a bullshit timeout rule which I think should be taken out of the game. If someone is injured or cannot compete, they need to retire.

They should be allowed to have a toilet break (let's face it they drink a lot) but that's where it ends. The toilet break should be 3 minutes, and if they violate this rule, they should automatically lose a game for every minute they go over.

Barty was a good sport though and didn't complain.

Wasn't cheated. But, was put off by a piece of gamesmanship. The medical timeout was definitely the turning point.
