"I don't think that was fair" - Iga Swiatek accuses French Open umpire of being biased towards Aryna Sabalenka

  • Iga Swiatek lost to top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka in the French Open semifinal on Thursday, June 5, 2025, in Paris.
  • The loss ended Swiatek's 26-match unbeaten streak at this tournament after a contested line-call dispute involving chair umpire Kader Nouni.
  • During the second set at 4-2, Swiatek requested umpire Nouni to inspect a mark after Sabalenka’s serve landed out, but he refused to climb down.
  • Swiatek felt the situation was unjust, particularly because the official repeatedly came over whenever Aryna requested it, and she ultimately lost 7-6, 4-6, 6-0.
  • Swiatek’s defeat halted her bid to defend her title but she expressed appreciation for competing and aims to continue pushing herself at the tournament.
