Coco Gauff to Marijana Veljovic on her coaching warning:
'I literally tell him since I was 8 years old, don’t talk to me in the match. I know you're not accusing me of anything, I'm just letting you know that it's the first time a ref has said this to me’

Multiple things can be true at once.

No, they don't. You cannot take an MTO for cramping.
A player might be perceived to be camping to the viewer, but if physio determines that they are, in fact, cramping, they do not get an MTO. (If they determine an injury, then they get the MTO.)
This, from the GS rules:
@vrcsports
Players cramp all the time and umpires give them MTOs. Kinda bizarre it didn't happen here.
