WTA Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championship marks an exciting period for fans, especially with American star Coco Gauff taking to the court once again. With her match against Karolina Pliskova underway, Gauff found herself in a tense standoff with the umpire. This came after a disagreement over a line call during the match.

In the disagreement over a line call made after Pliskova returned Gauff’s serve, the American demanded to see the supervisor, while repeatedly being interrupted by the umpire. “Call the supervisor. You can’t deny me the supervisor. I’m gonna ask her what the rule is,” Gauff told the umpire.

The disagreement escalated after the umpire asked her to make the first serve again, effectively making her ace go down the drain. Coco Gauff eventually defeated Pliskova and expressed her frustration after doing so.

After a lengthy and heated discussion, the play resumed, and Gauff looked unstoppable. Coming from a set down, Coco Gauff comfortably took the second set and followed it up with the third and final set, leaving her in the driving seat for the match.

It seems her disagreement with the umpire provided her with just the right amount of fuel she needed to add to her fire. More importantly, the intensity of her play was what fans wanted to see. Following her surprise exit at WTA Doha 2024, watching Gauff come back and win has fans on cloud nine. Considering the call made against her early in the match, fans rallied alongside her on social media.
