Coco Gauff’s Paris Olympics journey ended on Tuesday after a loss to Croatia’s Donna Vekic. It was an emotional match owing to a shoddy call made by the umpire. For the third time this year, Gauff had to advocate for herself to the umpire, and this time she was left in tears.
During the second set, Vekic returned Gauff’s serve and the ball landed near the baseline. A line judge ruled the ball out, leading Gauff to return the ball into the net.
