Francisco Cerúndolo was eliminated from Roland Garros and suffered a scandalous error

Francisco Cerúndolo was eliminated from Roland Garros in the second round after falling to the Danish Holger Rune, who won 7-6, 3-6, 6-4, 1-6 and 7-6, in a match that will be marked by an error by the French referee Kader Nouni, who did not sanction a double pique that harmed the Argentine. The porteño said goodbye to the tournament at the door of the possibility of getting into the top eight of the second Grand Slam of the season, with the anger that the umpire’s ruling concluded in Rune breaking the serve 3-1. After that moment, the action was played on a giant screen and the audience booed the judge. After being harmed, Cerúndolo lost the focus of the match because of his anger, while Rune did not miss the opportunity and won the tie break of the fifth set. Kader Nouni was the same referee who hurt David Nalbandian against Isner in Australia, because of that mistake he was moved to WTA.” I’m going to make sure they fine you,” Francisco Cerundolo told the umpire and lost the goal for “hidrance”, the rule that means a “hindrance or annoyance to the rival with words or gestures”. At that time, the score indicated 1-2, 40-40 in the third partial of an even match. The Argentine executed a parallel forehand that stung twice on the side of the Dane, who returned the ball and the situation was not captured by the judge.
