00:00A television cameraman was accused of showing wildly inappropriate behavior during Emma
00:25Raducanu's clash with Danielle Collins in Strasbourg on Wednesday afternoon.
00:30One had shown off some of her most composed and thoughtful tennis to claim the first set on French soil, but struggled going into the second as Collins roared back.
00:38Raducanu was forced to call for a medical timeout at 5-0 after she appeared to suffer a lower back issue and was treated off-court.
00:46Collins was keen to refill her branded water bottle at the fountain next to the umpire's chair, but quickly grew frustrated with the cameraman, Homo she believed was getting in her way as he filmed her during the break.
00:56I need to get water, the American star pointed out.
01:01We're on a changeover.
01:03You don't need to be that close to me, and you don't need to be on top of Emma.
01:07It's wildly inappropriate.
01:09As the cameraman backed off, it became clear how close he had been standing to the waiting players, with Collins telling Raducanu that she was sorry as she filled up her bottle.
01:20Heading back on court, however, hostilities resumed, with Collins sweeping the set to claim the hard-fought 4-6, 6-1, 6-3 victory.
01:27After the match, Raducanu weighed in on the peripheral drama, saying, I was standing up because I didn't want to sit down in the third set because of my back.
01:37I was standing, as it was a bit more comfortable.
01:40Then, she came to fill a bottle up and was saying how the cameraman was close, and it felt a bit inappropriate.
01:47That's all she was saying.
01:48So, we allиваоП.
02:00Let's take a while.
