Chris Evert’s commentary once again added fuel to the ongoing controversial umpire decision regarding Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek’s match in Roland Garros. Evert is seen as a fervent advocate for Gauff, given her appreciation for US women’s tennis. The former professional’s unwavering support even after taking on the role of a commentator greatly infuriated tennis fans, even if the odds obviously point to the US Open champion being a victim. Frustrated fans recently resorted to social media to voice their disapproval of Evert’s remarks after the 20-year-old Gauff’s French Open run ended in the quarterfinals.
