The match between João Fonseca and Casper Ruud produced an incident that continues to be talked about. In the tiebreak of the second set, with the Norwegian leading 8-7 and having a set point to level the match, a forehand from Fonseca was called out by a fan in the stands. The umpire went down to review the mark and deemed that the ball had landed in, awarding the point to the Brazilian. However, subsequent replays showed that Fonseca's shot had actually been out.

Ruud would have won the set in any other tournament except Roland Garros, as the Parisian Grand Slam is the only one on the circuit that still uses line judges. Fonseca ended up winning the tiebreak 10-8 and went up two sets. A decision that could have completely altered the course of the match.
