Tamara Korpatsch emerged victorious from the tensest match of Roland Garros 2026, after a controversial ball caused China's Xinyu Wang to cross to the other side of the court to seek justice. Her anger towards the German stemmed from the belief that the ball marked by the latter was not the one she was disputing. At the end of the match, she refused to shake her opponent's hand and criticized her behavior.
"The ball was clearly out, with two marks on the ground, both out. Her team exaggerated thinking the ball had landed in, but the judge reviewed the mark and confirmed the decision. Furthermore, Hawk-Eye showed the ball was out by eight millimeters."
"There was no handshake because she disagreed with the decision and even told me it was unfair. It surprised me because we usually have a good relationship. I myself admitted not knowing which mark was correct, that's why we have referees. If she thinks I should have waited without pointing out any mark, I will consider that for next time."
