The French Open side rejected the complaint filed by Miyu Kato (Xymax) and Aldila Sutjiadi (Indonesia), who were disqualified from the women’s doubles event at the French Open, the fourth major tennis tournament of the year, and the French Open side has come under fire from the tennis world.
The tennis world reacts to the rejection of the appeal for points and prize money at the French Open.
The incident occurred midway through the match when Kato returned a ball toward the opponent’s court and hit a ball girl. The umpire issued a warning, but after her opponents Marie Bouzková (Czech Republic) and Sara Sorribes Tormo (Spain) protested, the ruling was overturned and a severe penalty of disqualification was given.
Kato subsequently appealed the decision and filed a lawsuit against the tournament to recover her prize money and points, but she announced on her social networking service that her appeal had been rejected.
International media reacted to this decision one after another. The Indian media outlet “Sportskeeda” harshly denounced the decision, calling it a “heinous crime. The tennis world is reacting to the French Open’s refusal to appeal for points and prize money following the controversial disqualification,” introducing criticism of the French Open’s response.
Christian Zahalka, a well-known coach, said, “It was a very wrong decision and the tournament’s umpires are very sorry!” and criticized it heavily on social networking sites. Mark Petchey, a professional player from England, also expressed his anger, saying, “You don’t deserve this at all. It was the wrong decision.
The fact that the French tournament organizers have dismissed Kato’s appeal without even properly examining the case is likely to cause another uproar.
