On July 30, Beijing time, the tennis competition of the Paris Olympics continued. In a key match in the third round of women's singles, the gold favorite, No. 2 seed Gauff of the United States, lost 0-2 to Croatia's Vekić and missed the women's singles quarterfinals.
In the second set of this game, there was a controversial decision. Vekic's shot was reversed, and Gauff hit the ball into the net with the "out" cry of the line judge. However, the referee decided that the line judge's decision did not affect Gauff's stroke, so he did not replay the goal, but gave it directly to Vekic.
Subsequently, Gauff, who was dissatisfied with the penalty, cried and argued with the referee, accusing the penalty of being unfair, and the emotional Gauff even shed tears and cried: "Why does this always happen to me!" ”
Despite Gauff's tears, he was unable to change the decision. Her mentality was completely unbalanced, and then she didn't get a game point again, and lost the whole game directly. It is worth noting that Gauff has also suffered a controversial misjudgment at the French Open before. The United States star and Roland Garros may be completely married.
In this Olympics, after Sabalenka and Rybakina withdrew, Gauff was the second favorite to win gold after Swiatek. At the opening ceremony, she was also expected by the United States delegation to serve as the female flag bearer and basketball superstar James to carry the flag, but unfortunately she failed to help the United States team win the tennis women's singles medal this year.
