During the WTA-250 competition held in Rouen, Harriet Dart from Great Britain expressed her dissatisfaction regarding an unpleasant smell coming from her opponent, French player Lois Boisson.
The British tennis player approached the umpire, urging him to ask her opponent to wear deodorant, but the referee ignored the request, as reported by Sport Express.
Ultimately, Dart lost the match in two sets. Later, the British athlete publicly apologized for her comments. She stated on her social media that her remarks were driven by the heat of the moment during the match and emphasized her respect for her opponent and her sportsmanship.
Boisson humorously suggested a partnership with a deodorant manufacturer in light of the incident.
