Routliffe and her partner Gabriela Dabrowski were stunned when they found out there was no technology in the Margaret Court arena.

The New Zealander became angry after the umpire failed to call a let on opponents Beatriz Haddad Maia and Laura Siegemund's serve.

Routliffe was convinced the ball caught the top of the net on its way into the box, meaning a replay was due.

But the umpire failed to make any call and gave the point to Haddad Maia and Siegemund, with the usual machine to call lets not in place.

Routliffe stared down the official and shouted: "Oh my God, we have robots everywhere but you don't have them for the net,  Oh my goodness!"

The clip went viral on social media, with last year's Wimbledon finalist responding: "I feel like I have a point but also why so dramatic?"

Fans found it hilarious, with one saying: "We love dramatic though."

Another added: "This is great delivery and some good drama."

Routliffe's reference to the "robots" comes after the Australian Open ditched line judges.

Hawk-Eye instead makes the in or outcall automatically, with the classic challenge system axed.

Routliffe eventually regained her composure to win and she is now in the semi-finals of both the women's and mixed doubles.
