“Every point matters against anybody, but especially against her. I think it was just one of those moments, but I overcame it. I obviously won that game,” Gauff said. “I usually don’t get too frustrated with decisions like that, but I think it was just a combination of everything going on in the moment.”
As for the larger issue of whether Tourte should have been able to examine some sort of replay to figure out whether the line judge’s shout did affect things, Gauff had zero doubt about her stance.
