PARIS - American Coco Gauff 's hopes of singles gold at the Olympics evaporated in the third round as she argued with officials and slumped to a 7-6 6-2 defeat by Croatia's Donna Vekic in furnace-like conditions at Roland Garros on Tuesday.The 20-year-old second seed marched into a 5-2 lead in the opening set but Vekic responded with some sublime clay court tennis to turn the match on its head.
Gauff refused to blame the dispute for her loss but insisted, with some justification, that the point should have been replayed because the line judge's initial shout of "out" impeded her stroke."I felt that he called it before I hit and I don't think the referee disagreed but he just thought it didn't affect my swing which I felt like it did," she told reporters.
