Talented Danish player Clara Tauson retired from her match in protest of the match umpire as she was unhappy with the way he called the match.
Tauson was playing Petra Marcinko in the semifinal of a W80 event in France with the Danish player retiring from the match down 2-1 in the final set. Tauson felt wronged by the umpire as the line umpires made several bad calls with the umpire not correcting them.
She protested but all she got was multiple warnings and several time violations. She tried to calm herself down by taking a toilet break but ultimately could not do it and opted to retire. According to reports from people who were present at the event, the umpire did wrong Tauson multiple times.
