Drama is at its peak in the French Open 2020. More specifically around the Philippe Chatrier court. The first-round match between Laura Siegemund and Kristina Mladenovic is turning out to be absolutely entertaining for the fans across the globe. For the French fans, it is a nail-biting episode of tennis as their compatriot is tussling to go further up in the tournament.

The former world number 10, Mladenovic was comfortably leading against Siegemund. Confident to clinch the first set, Mladenovic was 5-1 up against the German. However, the 32-year-old went on to turn the tides and win the set 7-5. Quite impressive it might sound, however, there was quite a controversy involved in the first set.

Laura Siegemund allegedly returned a drop shot after two drops. Ethically the drop shot earns Mladenovic the set point. However, the appeal was ruled out and Siedemund was handed over the point. Following this incident, Kristina choked as she failed to convert 6 set points. Ultimately, she handed over the first set to the German. The scoreline read 7-5 in favor of Laura Siegemund.

“Mladenovic choked badly and had 6 SPs after that incident, but again, this shouldn’t happen with it’s an easy problem to solve.”

“Laura Siegemund saved seven points to win the first set, 7-5, over Kiki Mladenovic, but did the German *truly* earn the comeback? A missed call and lack of sportsmanship would suggest otherwise”, the tweet read.

The second set was without any foul play in the French Open 2020

Handing over the first set, Kristina suffered quite a bit of emotional jerk. She was standing on the edge of the win. Yet she returned with the loss. Looking forward to claiming the second set, she started her fight quite decently. However, the German already got the taste of blood and she was not willing to part with it.

Continuing the stunning form, Kristina was rattled by the German blitzkrieg and she lost the second set 6-3. Even though she had the opportunity to capitalize on the first set, she failed and therefore, she suffered.
