After a three-set win over 32nd seed Wang Xinyu on Wednesday, the German skipped the usual gesture, saying she felt wrongly cast as a rule-bender over a disputed line call late in the first set, reports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/sports\/tennis\/korpatsch-defends-handshake-snub-after-tense-win-over-wang-2026-05-27\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Reuters<\/a>. Wang had walked around the net to inspect the ball mark on Korpatsch&#8217;s side, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/tntsports\/status\/2059599001964445746\" rel=\"nofollow\">earning a code violation<\/a> for unsportsmanlike conduct and setting the tone for a tense finish on Court 7.&#13;\n                                    <\/p>\n<p class=\"storyParagraph\">&#13;<br \/>\n                                        Korpatsch insisted the shot was out, noting the chair umpire checked the mark and TV replays with Hawk-Eye showed the ball just outside the line. She said Wang later suggested she wasn&#8217;t fair, a claim Korpatsch rejected: &#8220;There are cameras on court and they can check everything\u2026 For me, it would be embarrassing to cheat like that.&#8221; The French Open, unlike other majors, still relies on clay marks rather than fully electronic line calls, leaving room for disputes.
