Mladenovic up against the referee: "She will continue Roland-Garros, not me"

At Roland-Garros

On the refereeing error, turn of the match 

“With this double bounce, at the time of the set point, I should have had 6-1.

The chair judge seems to have been the only one not to see him.

You can call it the turn of the game.

(insists) It should have been 6-1.

I don't know what the outcome of the game would have been if it had been 6-1, but it was a key moment. ”

"It really affected me."

On his affected concentration after the incident

“It really affected me.

I have tried to stay calm, even though I try not to complain.

I complained briefly, but in this type of situation, we know that they made a mistake, that they are wrong, but there is nothing you can do, you have to try to refocus, to continue.

I still had the result of the match in my hands.

I must admit that she managed to play, to come back to the game afterwards.

I don't know, I'm going to watch again, but I probably put on less intensity, I was probably a little distracted.

And I continued, when I should have already been playing the second set. "

On the lack of fair play of his opponent who could have awarded him the point

“She would have been the fairest player on the circuit, if she had.

But unfortunately, she didn't.

I didn't expect her to do it, either.

But if she had, she would have earned my respect.

I would have said she was extremely fair.

But she is not responsible.

I think it's the chair judge who has to look at what is going on. "

Three mistakes, in the space of a fraction of a second.

I do not understand"

On the contribution of video arbitration under these conditions

“It would be great, it would save us from sad scenarios like the one I experienced today.

It's a shame that we have come to a point where we would like to replace the human being with the camera, given the mistakes they can make.

It is human to err, but I don't quite understand how it can escape the referee, who is supposed to be focused on the ball.

It was a cushion, it was slow.

I stop the point, it shows.

Not only does she not see that it is doubling, secondly, she does not understand that the retro effect that my opponent is playing behind is mathematically not possible, if there has not been a second bounce.

Third, I think even the reaction of my opponent, who was amazed that there was no announcement, made three mistakes, in the space of a fraction of a second.

I do not understand.

It is true that sometimes there are brand disagreements etc.

But there is a lot.

And it's a shame, yes, really, that there is no camera.

This is the first thing I told her, I hope she will watch the replay.

Unfortunately, she will continue Roland-Garros, me, I will not continue Roland-Garros. "

On his complicated preparation for Roland-Garros after the US Open

“I did not have the preparation I would have liked before Roland Garros.

I was not able to prepare as I would have liked.

And obviously that impacted my entire preparation.

After New York, I couldn't get involved as I wanted.

I wanted to play in Rome, play in Strasbourg, but I couldn't.

I couldn't prepare myself.

It is very brutal for your body, when you are locked up for 8 days in a hotel room, (…) I had to withdraw from these demonstrations which preceded this Roland-Garros tournament.

I couldn't prepare as I wanted.

2020 is really a weird year. ”

"If all bad spells can happen in 2020, so much the better."

On its complicated year 2020

“I'm going to try to be a philosopher, and tell myself that if this has to happen, it has to happen in 2020, because seriously, it's a hell of a year.

I'm not sure what to say, just wondering why, why this happens, why this chain of bad spells, if you can call it that.

This is really the case, for once, after the experience in New York, and a bit like this scenario.

I'm not saying I would have won the game.

Maybe after winning 6-1 maybe I wouldn't have won the game either.

But frankly, I was rather in legs, I was good.

After that, everything takes a different turn.

Honestly, if all the bad spells can happen in 2020, so much the better, like that, we are rid of, that we move on. "
