The German also clashed with the official on more than one occasion after being warned about walking off to grab her towel between points The German player had already flirted with time violations multiple times before the chair umpire issued a warning to her in the third set for constantly struggling with Gauff’s pace on serve. Things took a dramatic turn in the third set when Gauff was up 3-0 but wasn’t awarded a point after Siegemund complained she wasn’t ready for a serve that ultimately flew right past her.
