Tennis star Coco Gauff has been eliminated from the women’s singles portion of the 2024 Paris Olympics after losing 7-6, 6-2 to Croatia’s Donna Vekic. However, the loss came in very controversial fashion.<\/p>\n

Gauff was trailing in the second set 3-2 when she was facing a break point at 30-40. When the 20-year old stepped back in order to connect on a backhand shot, the linesperson ruled that the previous shot was out as she made contact with the ball.<\/p>\n

The linesperson ended up awarding a point to Vekic, and Gauff was extremely displeased with the call. In fact, a five-minute argument unfolded in which Gauff pleaded her case and got extremely emotional.<\/p>\n

Gauff could even be heard saying “I feel like I’m getting cheated constantly in this game.”<\/p>\n
