Why is Amarissa Toth Trending? Career, Boyfriend, Instagram, Twitter, height, age and more

Amarissa Kiara Toth is trending because of her poor sportsmanship at the 2023 Budapest Grand Prix against her opponent, Zhang Shuai.

Several players criticized Toth for her behavior after the incident occurred during the pair's Round of 32 match at the Budapest Grand Prix. Shuai challenged a line judge's call, which was called out at 5-5 in the first set.

Toth walked over to the mark and rubbed it away with her foot before the umpire got out of their chair to see where the shot had landed. Zhang became utterly enraged and yelled, "Wait, wait, wait! Keep the mark. What are you doing? Why would you do that?’ Hungarian player Toth responded, "Because you're making problems, that's why," with the support of the home crowd in full force.

Spectators booed Zhang when she asked to speak with the tournament supervisor, and one fan could be heard shouting 'time violation' as Toth laughed. As the game went on, Zhang received loud boos when she won the following game to take the lead, 6-5. During the switch, Zhang appeared visibly upset, and a physio was called to check on her before the world No. 28 made the decision to leave the match in tears.

Following her retirement, the crowd booed Zhang once more, and the Chinese player shook hands with Toth and the umpire before leaving the court. After her rival retired, Toth raised her arms in the air in celebration with the crowd.

Who is Amarissa Toth?

Amarissa Kiara Tóth was born on February 10, 2003. Her mother is Thai, and she has Hungarian ancestry because of her father. She made her WTA debut in 2021, finishing the year ranked just outside the top 1000.

She made her first significant impression on a major stage that year when she and partner Maria Bondarenko advanced to the girls' doubles French Open final.

Toth achieved career-high WTA singles rankings of 534 on June 26, 2023, and doubles rankings of 264 on October 3, 2022. Her current singles and doubles rankings are 548 and 349, respectively.

What did Amarissa Toth do?

Toth removed a ball mark with her foot during the first round of singles at the 2023 Budapest Grand Prix after Zhang Shuai argued with the chair umpire about the line call. Shuai was unaware that the point had been given to Toth by the umpire until after another point had been played and play had resumed.

Shuai questioned Toth as to why she had removed the mark, to which Toth responded, "Because you’re making problems, that’s why." The match between Shuai and Toth was eventually abandoned due to Shuai's severe panic attack. When Shuai announced her retirement, Toth openly rejoiced. It was her first-ever WTA Tour singles main draw, and the event led to her first-ever triumph.

Such behavior sparked debate within the tennis community. Ajla Tomljanovic called it disgusting, and Daria Saville said she had "zero respect for her." Ellen Perez said it was "a quick way to lose respect from your peers." Jamie Loeb said it was "one of the worst line calls and poorly handled situations."

Daria Kasatkina said it was "very bad sportsmanship," Victoria Azarenka said it was "another level of unsportsmanlike conduct," and Maria Sakkari said "she should be banned from the tour.”
