Coco Gauff faced a surprising elimination in her first singles match at the Paris Olympic Games, being knocked out in the third round. She did not take the defeat well, claiming she was cheated by the umpire.
Despite being one of the favorites, Gauff’s journey ended early, and her emotional post-match reaction could impact her negatively.
Donna Vekic defeated the world No. 2 in straight sets, 7-6(7), 6-2. Gauff believed a pivotal moment in the second set led to her loss. The chair umpire called one of Vekic’s shots out, then Gauff returned a shot that was also out. Gauff argued that the initial call influenced her shot and that the point should be replayed, but the umpire awarded the point to Vekic.
This decision put Vekic ahead 4-2 in the second set, and she went on to win the set and match comfortably. Gauff was visibly upset, crying at the end of the game and arguing with the umpire about the perceived unfairness.
