Coco Gauff in tears after a huge disagreement with the umpire at the 2024 French Open 🇫🇷

You can watch every day of the 2024 French Open live and on-demand on discovery+. One of the reasons why Coco Gauff's backhand is so difficult to predict is that when she sets up with the two-handed grip, it's impossible to tell if she's going down the line or crosscourt. Both shots are equally good, keeping her opponents guessing. During a match, there was a controversial call where Gauff argued that the umpire's call came as she was swinging, affecting her shot. She insisted she had the right to finish her swing if the call came while she was hitting. The crowd and commentators supported her, agreeing that the call impacted her play. Gauff, visibly emotional, is known for her fairness, and the situation highlighted poor officiating.
