Alexander Zverev became the second high-profile player after Coco Guaff to rue the absence of electronic line calling at the French Open, following his five-set defeat by Carlos Alcaraz in Sunday's final. The German claims he was on the wrong end of a controversial decision that ultimately proved costly.

Alcaraz outlasted Zverev 6-3, 2-6,5-7, 6-1, 6-2 and there was a crucial moment in the decisive set with Alcaraz serving at 2-1 and 15-40. The Spaniard's second serve was called out, but the chair umpire checked the mark and called it in.

Zverev protested in vain, and later said he had been proved right by the Hawk-Eye system, which is available to the media at the French Open, but not to the on-court officials.
