Another nervous breakdown that has produced a messy drama with related accusations: Coco Gauff says goodbye to Paris Olympics amid a thousand controversies. As happened at the US Open, before she became champion, and during the semifinal against Iga Swiatek at Roland Garros last June 6, the young American had to deal with another nervous breakdown at the Olympic Games for what in her eyes was a serious error by the chair umpire.
On the important break point conceded to Donna Vekic in the central part of the second set, the Croatian’s shot ended near the baseline and the line judge also called, while Gauff was about to make her shot. The umpire came down to check the mark and, judging the ball fair, directly awarded the point to Vekic, believing that Gauff had not been influenced by the call in question.
Gauff immediately reached the umpire and asked for the Supervisor to intervene to protest. The American flag bearer burst in tears in the grip of nerves and vented her frustration by saying:
“Succede sempre a me” 😡
