Miyu Kato and Aldila Sutjiadi were disqualified from the French Open after a ball hit in between points by Kato hit a ball girl during their third-round match on Sunday.
After the women’s doubles pair from Japan and Indonesia, respectively, went down by a set to Czech Republic’s Marie Bouzkova and Spain’s Sara Sorribes Tormo, they held a 3-1 edge in the second set before the match was called by the umpire.
Both the ball girl and Kato were in tears after the incident.
The announcer on the Tennis Channel said, “You can tell it was inadvertent, she was hitting the ball back, but it’s the rule. If you hit a ball person or a lines person, anyone in the stands, it’s an automatic default. This was a tough scene.”
“These things happen,” the announcer continued. “The fact is, the rule is in place so that you avoid hurting or injuring anybody.”
