French Open doubles player Miyu Kato and her partner were forced to forfeit a match when Kato accidentally hit a ball girl in the neck with a ball after a point on Sunday.

In the second set on Court 14 at Roland Garros, Kato took a swing with her racket and the ball flew toward the ball kid, who was not looking in the player’s direction while heading off the court.

At first, chair umpire Alexandre Juge only issued a warning to Kato. But after tournament referee Remy Azemar and Grand Slam supervisor Wayne McEwen went to Court 14 to look into what happened, Kato and her partner, Aldila Sutjiadi of Indonesia, were disqualified.

Hate to tell ya this "Amigo", but that is sort of the essence of how life works.

I don't like white rappers.

Tennis is a dumb sport

In concept it’s a great sport. Just hitting a ball back & forth - awesome idea.

F for execution. It’s a tremendously boring spectator sport both on tv and in person, combining all the worst elements of better sports - the downtime of baseball, the stop/start of football, the shushing of golf, the Eastern Europeans of basketball…it’s like the Captain Planet of bad ideas.

They need to LIV it up and have people throwing beer on the court.

I wasn't really sure what "accidentally" meant in this context. That video makes it hard to see what actually happened. Did the player just randomly whack a ball out of frustration after losing a point? If that's the case, I have no problem with the disqualification.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

the other team imploring the officials to disqualify them was pretty cringe-y

This would get me hooked in.

Tennis has always bothered me because its such an elitist sport. I realize golf is also perceived as elitist, but at least with golf, its acceptable to smoke a cigar and drink a beer while I play. Unless Agassi or McEnroe are playing, you can keep it.

That was pretty gutless. Whoever they are I hope they get embarrassed in their next match.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Yeah that is my problem with it all. Completely gutless.

You win whatever way you can.

maybe you do, some of us have limits.

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

It's easier said when you aren't competing. It's like telling a ref you didn't really get fouled. It would never happen.

Especially the scoring. Never understood the logic of 15-30-40.
