Katerina Siniakova crashed to the court, then arose to make a tearful exit from Miami.

In a strange ending, world No. 2 doubles standout Siniakova fell to the court as if injured following her 6-1, 6-4 loss to Camila Osorio.

Osorio walked around the net to check the health of her fallen foe only to see Siniakova arise, give a drive-by handshake and walk to her back.

Again, Osorio walked over to check on the Czech only to see Siniakova grab her racquet bag and walk off.

“They seemed to be besties about 30 minutes ago, what happened?” Tennis Channel commentator Mark Knowles asked colleague Martina Navratilova.

Siniakova is coming off a strong performance in Indian Wells where she dethroned defending champion Mirra Andreeva en route to the singles round of 16 and captured the doubles championship partnering Taylor Townsend.
