Tamara Korpatsch defended her decision to skip the customary handshake with Wang Xinyu after defeating the 32nd seed in a tense second-round match at the French Open, saying later she resented being portrayed as an unfair player over a line call.
Tensions arose late in the opening set of Korpatsch’s 6-2 2-6 6-3 win when Wang struck a shot she believed had landed inside the baseline, only for her opponent to point to a ball mark outside the court.
