A day after being controversially disqualified from the French Open for inadvertently hitting a ball girl with a ball, an emotional Miyu Kato struggled to answer questions about the incident
Kato and her partner Aldila Sutjiadi were defaulted from the doubles event on Sunday after the Japanese player struck a ball girl having innocuously hit the ball to the back of the court following a point. Kato, who was seen crying on court after her disqualification, was back in action on Monday and reached the mixed doubles semifinals after winning in straight sets alongside German partner Tim Puetz.
“I think everybody saw the pictures. It wasn’t anything malicious that she did. Nevertheless, it hit the ball girl. “Then two supervisors have to come on court, possibly didn’t even see it. All they see is a crying ball girl who got hit with a ball. “In that moment, to make that decision, is very difficult.” On Monday, Kato tweeted an apology to the ball girl, her doubles partner and her supporters, saying the incident was “completely unintentional.
