Ekaterina Makarova seemed to be furious at the end of the semifinal match she lost to her compatriot Maria Sharapova at the Australian Open this year. According to Sports.ru Ekaterina didn't really like the attitude Sharapova had on court during their all-Russian clash, so much that she thought Maria's behavior hasn't really been sportsmanlike.

"As an opponent, Maria is defiant. She knows how to make you lose your confidence and always keep you to the limit. It is frustrating to see how she wastes time. At times it looks like she is ready to serve, but then she starts doing all her moves again.

At the beginning it didn't all really bother me, but then she started shouting her C'Mons after each point, as she would do when she is facing a tough moment. Each time more and more frequently" said Makarova, beaten in straight sets 6-3 6-2.

"I don't think she behaves correctly, nor that she has good sportsmanship. She takes too much time before serving. The 20 seconds she is allowed within one point and the other are often passed. Then you get stuck at focusing more on these things rather than the match itself.

They were just useless thoughts in my mind at that moment". ALSO READ Andy Murray: the latest feminist icon Ricci Bitti: 'I want to remove the second serve'
