The former World No. 3 was seen making the statement after winning the tough point to even out their game score. 

Video from the match shows the moment Stephens believes Pavlyuchenkova tried to hit her. 

Stephens is seen mid-court when Pavlyuchenkova smashes the tennis ball right toward her right leg. 

But Stephens smoothly returned the ball and moments later won the point. 

However, all of the drama began when Pavlyuchenkova called for a trainer during their second set. 

According to TennisLife.com, it's not unusual to do that but when it happens before the opponent serves for the set, it’s usually frowned upon. 

At some point, Stephens approached the chair umpire Jenny Zhang and makes a comment about 'sportsmanship'.

Stephens is then heard saying: 'I’m disrespectful? What’s disrespectful? You called the physio at 5-2. You’re not even injured'

'That's the sport we play. Right? Sportsmanship. That's really important,' Stephens said to Zhang.

Stephens is then heard saying: 'I’m disrespectful? What’s disrespectful? You called the physio at 5-2. You’re not even injured.'

'How do you know I’m not injured?' Pavlyuchenkova replied. 

'Don’t be ridiculous. Don’t be ridiculous. … No you’re disrespectful. … It’s fine. … Play the third set. It’s fine,' Stephens retorted.

Stephens then said: 'You got what you wanted. You got the physio. So I don’t see what the problem is.' 

The tennis stars then started the third set, and there were no tense moments during the changeovers.

Stephens beat Pavlyuchenkova 6-4, 6-4. 

The pair appeared to end the match with a polite handshake and conversation before going their separate ways. 

Sunday's tense match occurred just weeks after Naomi Osaka won the US Open Championship against Serena Williams (both pictured) 

The Japanese player's win in the US Open final was overshadowed by a row between Williams and chair umpire Carlos Ramos (both pictured), which resulted in the 23-time Grand Slam champion being docked a game and fined $16,000

Sunday's tense match occurred just weeks after Naomi Osaka won the US Open Championship against Serena Williams. 

Osaka recently said her breakthrough victory in New York last month still feels 'bittersweet'.

The Japanese player's win in the US Open final was overshadowed by a row between her opponent Williams and chair umpire Carlos Ramos, which resulted in the 23-time Grand Slam champion being docked a game and fined $16,000.

The 20-year-old Osaka was reduced to tears as she waited to be handed her maiden major trophy and an angry crowd at Flushing Meadows took out their frustration on Ramos.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
