Kristina Mladenovic blamed the umpire for losing her first match to Laura Siegemund at the French Open on Tuesday.
German Siegemund cruised to a 7-5, 6-3 win but Mladenovic was furious with chair umpire Eva Asderaki for not spotting a double bounce on first set point.
A TV replay showed the ball bounced twice, Mladenovic slowed up and then touched the net, which automatically gave the point to Siegemund.
“Mistakes are human but I don´t see how the umpire can miss that. She didn´t see a double bounce,” Mladenovic said.
“Unfortunately she will continue at Roland Garros, and I won´t continue at Roland Garros.”
