As Gauff teared up in frustration, a referee came over, defending the chair umpire’s call.
“I never argue calls and you know this, but this isn’t fair. I feel like I’m getting cheated on constantly in this game and I have to argue,” a visibly emotional Gauff said. “It always happens to me on this court. I have to advocate for myself every time.”
Gauff also claimed that she has received previous apologies due to bad calls on the court.
“Then you guys apologize afterwards, and you guys say, ‘I’m sorry,'” Gauff accused. “But then what does that do for me in the match?”
Though the line judge claimed the apparent bias toward Gauff was “not intentional,” the American athelete fired back, “OK, it’s not intentional. It happens to me. It happens to Serena [Williams].”
After a lengthy back and forth, Gauff walked back toward the court weeping, saying, “You guys are not fair to me, and I hope that one day the game becomes fair, but it’s not.”
