Coco Gauff spoke about the controversial call that cost her a crucial point in her straight-set loss (7-6, 6-2) to Donna Vekic in the third round of the women's singles tennis tournament at the Summer Olympics in Pris.

"These points are big deals. Usually afterward, they apologize. So it's kind of frustrating. The 'sorry' doesn't help you once the match is over," Gauff said, per the Associated Press. "I can't say I would have won the match if I would have won that point."

In the second set, Gauff was serving down 3-2 (30-40) to Vekic.
