French Open: Holger Rune in double-bounce controversy - 'The umpire has made a huge mistake'
Rising star Holger Rune got caught up in a double-bounce controversy during his fourth-round match with Francisco Cerundolo at the 2023 French Open on Monday. Umpire Kader Nouni did not spot the fact that the ball clearly bounced twice at a very crucial moment in the fourth game of the third set of the encounter, as Cerundolo slammed a forehand into the open court with Rune well out of position at deuce. Ad What should have been a point to Cerundolo somehow turned into his opponent benefiting as Nouni did not spot the double-bounce and then penalised the Argentine for stopping before he put away the resulting smash with a ball kid having already entered the court.
