Andy Roddick and Alexander Zverev blast chair umpire's controversial call in the latter's French Open title loss

Andy Roddick expressed his displeasure with the absence of replays in the 2024 French Open final, where Carlos Alcaraz defeated Alexander Zverev 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2 to clinch his third Grand Slam title.

Roddick posted on X that the chair umpire made a wrong decision by overruling a fault call on Alcaraz’s serve at 2-1, 15-40 in the final set, which cost Zverev a vital break opportunity. The former US Open champion demanded that player calls be verified and that replays be used permanently.

"Players normally right. Shotspot showed Zverev saw mark correct way ……. Cant replace real life playing reps when reading marks correctly. Good riddance to these umpires trying. Bring in the machines full time," Andy Roddick wrote on X.

Zverev spoke about the matter later in his press conference and called the incident "frustrating." The German also acknowledged that any official can make a "mistake."

"There's a difference whether you're down 3-1 in the fifth set or you're back to 2-2… that's the deciding difference. So yeah… it's frustrating in the end," the runner-up told the reporters.

"But it is what it is, umpires make mistakes, they're also human and that’s okay. But of course, in a situation like that, you wish there wouldn't be mistakes," the German added.

Alexander Zverev will kick off his grass-court season at the BOSS Open in Stuttgart. The top-seeded German received a bye into the second round where he will face either Christopher Eubanks or Brandon Nakashima on June 12.
