Jannik Sinner was left furious at the umpires during Sunday’s epic French Open final against Jannik Sinner. The showpiece, which broke the record for the longest men’s French Open final, involved a moment of controversy in the final set.
Sinner had previously blown three championship points in the fourth set at 2-1 up, with Alcaraz fighting back to level the game and force a decider. From that point on, the momentum was with the Spanish star, who began to take control of the match.
However, in the sixth game of the fourth set, Sinner was left scratching his head after an Alcaraz shot wasn’t called out by the line judges. His frustration was justified, given replays showed the ball had been out and by some distance, with the TNT Sports commentary team confirming a margin of 31mm between the ball and the sideline.
