In the early morning of May 27, the first round of the French Open was contested. In a controversial match in the first round of the Men's Singles, homegrown Atmana hit a spectator with a ball that demanded disqualification, but the referee insisted that Atmana continue.

The scene took place in the final match on Court 12 against homegrown wildcard Atmana and world number 45 Ofner. Atmana won two sets in a row in the first two sets, but then Offner fought back, clawed back a set in the third set and took the lead after two breaks in the fourth.

With Atmana down 4-1 in the fourth set, the furious shot the ball into the stands and hit a fan who was watching the match. This scene is somewhat similar to when Deyo hit the line trial at the US Open, when Deyo was directly disqualified from the tournament. Offner made the same request, hoping to disqualify Atmana, but the referee and match supervisor only warned Atmana after several discussions.

Despite playing at home, the fans booed after the referee only gave a warning to express their displeasure.

Atemana, who qualified to continue the tournament, was unable to win in the end, and he was beaten by his opponent to chase two and three, and he went out of the first round of the French Open in five sets.
