Here the ball girl is hit by Mio Kato.
-
Women’s duo Mio Kato and Alida Sotjiadi have been disqualified from the French Open.
-
This is because, as you say, the Japanese Kato accidentally knocked a girl down with a ball.
-
A famous tennis journalist compares him to Federer, which Kyrgios finds ridiculous.
It was the tennis spectacle of the weekend: Japan’s Mio Kato was playing alongside Indonesia’s Aldila Sutjiadi in the doubles round of 16 when Kato tried to pass the ball to the ball girl. But that didn’t see that business coming, He could no longer dribble and was shot down. The ball girl begins to cry – and Cato is first warned by Chief Justice Alexandre Gouge, that the superintendent even disqualifies the duo.
The Japanese I apologize, but he dismissed any bad intentions – and sparked a huge debate on the tennis scene. And while opponents Sara Sorribes Tormo (Spain) and Marie Bouzkova (Czech Republic) stormed over their welcome to the disqualification of the two opponents, the experts are at odds with each other.
Federer often played with fire.
For example, tennis journalist Ben Rothenberg finds exclusions overrated, but generally urges more care when it comes to giving the ball to girls and boys. He remembers the American Roger Federer, who kept joking with the young assistants on the sidelines and tested their reactions with some sharp shots. “Roger Federer often played with fire,” Rotenberg wrote.
It also went wrong from time to time, but had no consequences. Nick Kyrgios, who missed the French Open with a knee injury, finds that comparison untenable. “Now it’s getting ridiculous.” grumbles on Twitter, “This is the greatest of all time having some fun with kids and giving them memories of a lifetime.” That’s just ridiculous.
