Sara
Sorribes Tormo shared her opinion on the ball kid incident during the doubles
match at the
French Open involving
Marie Bouzkova and Miyu Kato.
A strange
situation occurred at
Roland Garros during a third-round women's doubles match.
The duo of
Sara Sorribes Tormo and Marie Bouzkova defeated Miyu Kato and Aldila
Sutjiadi.
The
Japanese player, Kato, accidentally hit one of the ball kids while returning
the balls to the opponents. The umpire issued a warning to the player while the
young ball kid was crying and being consoled by Kato.
Sorribes
Tormo and Bouzkova approached the umpire to demand the opponents'
disqualification. After the umpire agreed and eliminated the opposing team, the
Spanish and Czech players laughed about the situation.
“What
happened yesterday was a bad situation. It’s tough to see the comments. We saw
the ball kids was crying, it’s the only thing we said to the umpire. And that’s
it. I have nothing else to say.”
