Ureke (Russian) playing mindgames at the W25 Bujumbura.

Her opponent Strakhova (Ukrainian) had a doctor's visit at 4-2 (she had led 4-1 and was broken) without a medical timeout. Strakhova broke again for 5-2, then was broken for 5-3 and got the doctor on again. This time with a medical timeout. Ureke audibly complained about the situation.

Then, after Strakhova had won the point at 30-30 while serving at 5-4 (so she now had set point at 40-30), Ureke goes to her chair for a doctor's visit.
