She does have an advantage..." said the coach of a player recently defeated by Gronert. The 22-year-old, ranked 555 in the world, considered leaving tennis over the dispute.

Villa eventually won 6-4 with only just 8 players. "It was a mistake for any of my team to get involved. The referee has applied the letter of the law to the absolute button. What you would hope for is that there can be room for some common sense as well," said Chorlton Villa's manager Ian Treadwell. #
