Mirra Andreeva refuses to shake Wimbledon umpire's hand after controversial call in deciding set
It earned a second warning and point penalty, setting up match point for Keys.
Andreeva argued her case with Kjendlie, saying: "Do you understand what you are doing? I didn't throw the racket. I slid. It's the wrong decision.

The 16-year-old Russian had looked set to become the youngest player since Anna Kournikova in 1997 to make the quarter-finals here when she led by a set and 4-1.
The American pulled herself together just in time, changing her tactics to follow her big groundstrokes to the net and even breaking serve with a left-handed forehand winner. By the time the second-set tie-break came around, it was Keys who had the momentum, and Andreeva was unable to shrug off her disappointment at the beginning of the deciding set.
