Coco Gauff says it is ‘ridiculous’ that tennis does not have a video review system, after an on-court argument with the umpire during her 6-2, 6-4 defeat to Iga Swiatek in the French Open semi-finals.

The Polish world No. 1 will go for her third title in a row here at Roland Garros on Saturday against Italy’s Jasmine Paolini, who beat 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva 6-3, 6-1.

For 20-year-old Gauff it was an afternoon of frustration and fury in Paris. The flashpoint came as Gauff was trying to claw her way back into the match, leading 2-1 in the second set on the Swiatek serve.

Swiatek’s second serve was called out just as Gauff hit her return long. But when the umpire overruled the call and awarded the point to Swiatek, Gauff furiously insisted that she hit her return after the ball had already been called out, and so the point should have been replayed.

Asked by Mail Sport after the match whether tennis should look to introduce a video review system to re-evaluate close decisions such as this, Gauff was adamant.
