Japanese tennis player Miyu Kato became emotional after being disqualified from the French Open doubles for accidentally hitting a ball girl with a ball. Kato may face consequences in terms of prize money and ranking points. Her mixed doubles partner, Tim Puetz, expressed sympathy for her and mentioned that everyone in the men’s locker room felt it was unfair to disqualify her. Kato offered sincere apologies and clarified that the incident was unintentional. After the match, she cried on court and struggled to compose herself during a press conference. Kato was initially given a warning but was later disqualified following protests from her opponents. The incident has attracted criticism, but the opponents defended their actions, stating that they simply reported the incident to the referee and the decision was made by the supervisor.
