While the first semi-final between Iga Swiatek and Daria Kasatkina was relatively drama free at the French Open, the second has been anything but so far with Coco Gauff far from pleased with her opponent Martina Trevisan.
The Italian is aiming to continue her brilliant unbeaten run by any means necessary and has been told off by the chair umpire, Marijana Veljovic for grunting too loud.
Gauff complained just after the second game of the opening set. “Too loud or no? I normally don’t care but when I’m hitting it, she is still screaming.”
To which Veljovic said she was going to have a word but Trevisan saw no issue. "I think I'm alright. I don't need to change anything."
