Many whistles sounded from the stands of Court Philippe-Chatrier at the beginning of the third set during the semifinal between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. In question, a service game offered by the referee to the Serb, while the Spaniard was being treated.
The rules are clear, however, in case of medical joker requested before the end of a game, the player loses the entire game. If the second scenario had been retained, the world No. 1 would not have lost his service game and the match would have resumed.
