@@abhiyaraman20 get real it was a lob that grazed the the “ball girl” on the shoulder. She is not the first “ball person” to get accidentally hit with a tennis ball.
The ball girl isn't injured or acting, she's embarrassed. Remember how self-conscious most 15-year-olds are and then imagine messing up on an international stage and broadcast TV. The acting award goes to the doubles team that pushed for the DQ. Seems unsportsmanlike to me.
The umpire gave Kato a warning, but then Bouzkova and Sorribes Tormo acted on it, overturned the decision and instead had her disqualified. And while Kato was crying from shock of it all, Bouzkova and Sorribes Tormo were laughing at the decision. How disgusting is that!!! I have never been more sickened watching tennis!
Incredible. Could be because they were losing 1-3 in the second set even that they one the first one in tiebreak ??? … win playing not because a default of the other players
The player just passes the ball to the girl, and the ball touches her and she has an emotional panic attack helped by the other team accusing an aggression that didn't exist. Shame on Tormo and Bouzkova, that was really poor sportsmanship.
DISGRACEFUL! To want to win a match by getting your opponent disqualified makes you less that a human being! I'm sorry, but You just should not be competing! And that Ball girl should be disqualified also from stepping foot on a tennis court ever again! If you go swimming, at least prepare to get-wet?? John-De-Baptist...
As a Czech person i absolutely condemn this decision, both from the officials and the opponents like Bouzkova. Its absolutely unsportsmanship like behaviour. She said that she didnt know what happened to the girl so she went to the referee to tell him to investigate the situation properly, but we can hear laughing in the background at the end, where she is saying at 0:38 "díky moc" which means, thank you very much with a friendly tone. This was an absolute bs, what a disgrace to my country.
So now people will say “don’t be such a Bouxkova” to tell someone they have no sportsmanship. Shame on umpire though. Such a lack of character to allow himself to be pushed.
The lamest part of this all was Tormo and Bouzkova appealing to the chair judge about the ball girl. Seriously, looking for any possibility to win outside of the lines is disgraceful and pathetic. I hope they were proud of their win.
Shameful behavior by opponents. The ump was just going to give a warning until they lobbied to get the win. One of the most pitiful things I've seen in sports and there have been a lot.
This was completely different. Djoker hit the ball annoyed very hard backwards and the lineswoman was hit very hart at the throat from a short distance without having a chance to react.

@@ThalantyrBF3 I dont think the ballgirl is a tennis fans nor has proper training. She dont even seems like doing sports regularly. You can Estimated based on her reaction. She treats her job like weekend picnic.

The French OP is a racist tournament. This story was aired many times on national television in Japan. All Japanese remembered the dirty faces of the Czech and Spanish pair.
That's the real takeaway. Children should not be in high stake jobs like this where there is massive amounts of pressure to perform a job. They're better suited to be working the concession stand, not influencing professional tennis players careers and incomes.
I remember seeing Nadal mishit a ball and it nailed the ball girl on the head. She seemed to be as young or even younger than this girl. What did the girl do? She smiled and shook it off. I think it's this particular girl who cried who shouldn't be doing this; others would probably have been fine.
This is freaking ridiculous! Kato obviously didn't mean it and the pace was not fast at all! I got hit harder occasionally when I was playing in early teens!

This is the most shameful and disgraceful decision ever made in Tennis. She just passed the ball towards the direction of ball girl to help, and it was purely accidental and worst past were the opponents who are a a shame. My thoughts for the disqualified players, who did no wrong.

However, instead of catching it, the ball girl dodged the ball and got hit on the shoulder. She was not crying because it hurt (the ball wasn't hit hard and it was hit from a distance), but because she failed her job as a ball girl and made a fool of herself! Shame on the opponents who begged for disqualification to get a cheap win and shame on the umpire who made the worst decision of the centry!
Her job was not to catch the ball she already had balls in her hands and was looking at players on her side to see if they requested a ball because the point was over.
@@reinach77 exactly! I am surprising to read a lot of commentary against this girl... There is a boy close to Kato for this Ball. But Kato changes this mind🤔🤔🤔

The disqualification is a robbery.... It is really shameful for the umpire and both Bouzkova and Tormo... Wishing Kato and Sutjiadi all the best in their future career.
I can imagine the ball coming at her like that startles her, but if she can't handle the risks of being a ball girl, she shouldn't be one. Let alone for Aldila and Kato to be disqualified.
She is very young and obviously has a mild social anxiety problem which is not a big deal. She started crying because all of a sudden whole stadium was looking at her and she wasn’t able to deal with it at the moment. Saying that she shouldn’t be a ball girl is just ignorant.

As a former ball boy, even after a point, you need to be aware of balls being exchanged/ moving around the court. Plus, this is a grand slam tournament, she could have and should have been able to catch that ball out of the air. She wasn’t doing her job.
@@mem4 I'm not blaming her for the disqualification, I'm saying that her mistake was taken advantage of and it was a mistake that should not have happened in the first place. Plus, that ball definitely wasn't traveling fast enough to make someone cry unless they are literally a baby

You have to realize Lazlo,...they're just kids,...kids reactions are not the same,....she probably panicked...they don't want adults out there,...because they're @SSholes...!!! Let me ask you anther question,...WHY is that tennis player hitting the ball in the air..??? This happened at the US OPEN, as you probably know. That player had no business hitting the ball where it could probably hit someone....rules are rules....

@@funkya1840 Her lack of maturity certainly contributed to this whole debacle. Not only being upset at a small issue but when Kato went up to her she shook her hand as if to say "It's OK - no big deal" but wasn't mature enough to put that across to the umpire or referee.
That ball girl is emotionally unfit to hold that position. Or is she the daughter of one of the organizers of the Roland Garros? Poor decision from the umpire. Poor sportsmanship from Bouzkova and Sorribes Tormo.
This decision to disqualify the players is insane, TOTALLY INSANE! I agree with the disqualification if one of the players intentionally hit the ball out of desperation or anger then hit the (ball) girl. What a terrible decision and this should be investigated because the decision to DQ was uncalled for!
The ball girl was clearly not fit for her position. It’s not the player’s fault. And the opponents should be disqualified for pushing for a default. Unsportsmanlike conduct. The French Open is now a joke. What an embarrassment.

Shame on Sorribes Tormo and Bouzkova who were actually more concerned about the gesture than about the ballgirl, next time don't help the ballkids with the balls management and adopt a "go and fetch" policy instead.
Sorribes Tormo is a very despicable woman. I already knew since that match in Rome against Camila, and today I have the confirmation. Bouzkova should be ashamed too.
The whole ball girl/boy idea is so condescending. It's as if they're the players' slaves. Similar to people holding an umbrella over a player's head when it's raining
the ref said if you injured a person. the ball girl didint look injured. Did she required medical attention? the whole ordeal was handled unprofessionally.
That's a ridiculous decision. There was no malicious intent or anger in the hit. And for the girl to be crying for THAT long? Ok a plonk on the head with a tennis ball isn't exactly pleasant, but also sorry, don't be on a tennis court either. We've seen PLENTY of ball girls and boys hit much harder than that in full shots. This was a tennis ball and she's acting like it was an all out assault! Shame on the opponents, the empire and in part the ball girl for that. Poor decision. Should have replaced the ball girl if she was in that bad a state
lol i thought all ball kid on Grand Slam is hiring from tennis school. She must know if you placed on court , get hit by the ball alread become your risk. ckckc
If she had been struck by a ball that was hit during a point, I would totally agree. This wasn't the case here. The woman hit the ball out of anger/frustration AFTER the point had ended. The ball hit someone. ESPN's website reported it drew blood (Probably caused by the post of her earing). The rules don't allow for that.
Not the issue. Apparently hitting someone with a ball while the play is not on can get you disqualified. It can be a three strike thing but they CAN disqualify you after one instance. This had happened multiple times before....
Um dos maiores exageros que eu já vir no esporte, eliminar uma atleta por causa disso, claramente ela não teve a menor intenção de fazer isso. Um absurdo!

@Garrett1111 shoulder is connected to the chest...uhh and? Dude please, just because you want to raise your kid in a world with safe space crying corners to accommodate everyone doesn't mean you should be popping off at the mouth to someone who is based in reality. There's no way that kid got hurt, was a panic attack because she was embarrassed that she was a ball girl afraid of a ball. That's like wanting to be a lifeguard but can't swim...basic job requirements. Sorry, but she couldn't cut it and that's fine, not every job is for every person, and unfortunately someone who was literally trying to help her with the 1 job she has by passing her the ball, got disqualified because of it
I hope the fans of tennis can cause enough uproar concerning this injustice so that Kato and Sutjiadi can be compensated for the money that they loss because of this default. What an embarrassment to the sport of tennis. BTW, the ball girl wasn't crying because she was 'injured'........ she was crying because of the unwarranted attention she received due to the two low class opponents on the other side of the court. Poor ball girl probably feel guilty about the whole thing as well.

What a joke! This is the new world we regretfully live in. Not only did the player not mean to do it. Not only did the ball girl overreact. Not only did the team appeal dishonestly and unethically. But the umpires and referees actually agreed to disqualify. I call BS
The umpire and referees followed the rules. Plain and simple... If there is fault, it is to the opponents for asking the officials to DQ the other team for this. When the rule is applied - this is the result.
@@JustHazardousit's the refs decision as he has disgression on how to apply the rule. Initially the ump was just going with a warning. He (and the ref) should have stuck by that original decision. But you have opponents making a big deal of it and a crying ballgirl and they backed off.
The ball girl didn't cried because it did hurt her, gosh too many people are freaking dumb to understand that she got all attention on her and that did add pressure and that's all, she felt in a embarassing situation and that's all, knock it off
I am under shock. How this can happen in grand slam ? What a disgrace for the organizators who picked up that girl, clearly this is not her job. She can enjoy tennis in TV and stop being a match disruptor. What a disgrace also for the supervisor, who took such terrible decision after having some time for the assessment.

The umpire has to take ultimate responsibility since he has the power to disqualify. With great power comes great reponsibility and the umpire failed in this case. Not sure what he was thinking but I'm guessing he was swayed by the tears fom the ballgirl. Her crying like that is another separate issue.
such a bad call to disqualified Kato. very obvious Kato did not mean it and clearly not like out of her emotional hitting the ball. RG should train / brief ball girls/boys again there always be risks. And shame on the opponents for asking a default.
This is a clear discrimination to humble and polite Asian players, how else could the out come explained? She did not hit the ball in anger nor venting a frustration, just lightly sent the ball over to the other side, simply because the weak and immature ball girl showed a tear, the career of two top players destroyed by dirty opponents and weak officials. I will never watch “French Open” again. It’s new name is “ French Close”!
Sério isso? A bola nem bateu no peito da garota e sim nas costas. Mas é ridículo a dupla serem desclassificadas por isso. E ainda mais ridículo a dupla adversária pedir a desclassificação de suas oponentes.
How disgraceful. I always liked Bouzkova, but I will no longer root for her. As for Sorribes Tormo, I've never been a fan of hers because of her loud grunt, but she is now officially one of my least favorite players.
Shame on Bouzkova/Sorribes Tormo!! Getting involved, asking for a default despite not seeing what happened is really embarrassing. Pretty damning situation for Bouzkova, who had a clean "nice player" image. Not so nice after all, I guess.
Paid more attention? She did the normal thing in returning the ball. She wasn't aiming at the ball girl, but returning it to the end so the ball girl could collect it. Nor was she hitting it out of anger...
@blue red screen hence the warning. If it was done out of anger, or an unnecessary dangerous action then it'd be DQ. But this, accidentally overestimating power, is not any deliberate action. They would have got warning if other players didn't gleefully push for the default as they were afraid to lose.
@@blue_red_screen you never been a ball person. It comes with job. If she wants to cry its fine. If she’s hurt they can just change the ballgirl. Its really not big of a deal. Just shameless from the opponent trying to get a free win. Well thats women in sports in general. Only drama sells.
Indeed.... Just caught the ball girl off guard! Which im sure she didnt know if it was intentional or not. Obviously she is a little bit on the sensitive side. WHICH IS OK!!! BUT - as we can tell from the cameras - it was NOT INTENTIONAL AT ALL!!! Coward opponents.
The umpire actually claims that disqualification is justified if you hit someone with a ball... and they are 'injured'. No way did that gentle tap on the shoulder from the ball 'injure' that girl. Absolutely ridiculous and a disgraceful response from the officials and the opposing team. The pathetic over-reaction from that ball girl clearly did not help matters and simply shows that she should never have been on court in the first place. Utterly disgusted by it all.
Pathetic is right, but this is what this world has come to. Pain and injury doesn't have to be physical can now apply to mental as well. She was clearly in some mentally anguished state seen from the tears she was shedding. I just refuse to believe the ball hitting her caused that. But there's nothing in the rulebook that says the injury has to be physical. Soft kids gets you soft mental state.
@@genso3065 well those French Open organizers should have trained the ball kids better. But in any case, the ball girl should not be blamed as being done by the mad dogs in this comment section; the adults make the decisions not her.
It was an absolutely ridiculous decision: 1. It's crystal clear that Ms. Kato has no bad intention to hit the girl with the ball. And the ball travel at very slow pace. 2. The ball hit the back of the girl. (Shoulder blade), then she crying and rubbing her chest. 3.The ball boy/ girl must perform rigorous drills that test court awareness, agility and the ability to roll, catch and toss a tennis ball.
Her intention is irrelevant, just like a puck-out in hockey renders a 2 min penalty regardless of intent. The same goes for a football player who misses the ball and trips an opponent inside the penalty area. However, since you brought up intent, to me it seems like Kato is aiming in the ball girl's direction, even though the latter is focused on the player that is about to serve and is not ready to receive the incoming ball.
No wonder there were so many empty seats during the whole tournament. The management of Roland Garros should apologize to the players and the whole world. Is this what a Grand Slam tournament should look like? Disgusting and disgraceful.
Justice for Aldila & Kato. It wasn't intentional. They should not have been defaulted. Federer and Nadal have hit ballkids unintentionally and they were never defaulted. Where is "rules are rules"? And to Bouzkova and Sorribes Tormo, absolutely disgraceful for pushing to default your opponents.

But at that time, they wanted Novak out and it worked.
players “shall not violently, dangerously or with anger hit, kick or throw a tennis ball within the precincts of the tournament site except in the reasonable pursuit of a point during a match (including warm-up)”. That's the rule. Obviously in this case it wasn't violently hit or done with anger. That only leaves dangerously. I guess an argument can be made that she should have looked before hitting the ball and if she had she would have seen the ball girl's hands were full. To me a warning was sufficient here because she didn't hit the ball very hard and there was clearly zero intent for this to happen. It was just negligence.
Yea expecting her to catch it when her hands were CLEARLY full with other tennis balls. The problem was Kato was negligent and didn't bother looking first. The girl didn't have a free hand. Not saying she should have been disqualified but lets not pretend she wasn't at the very least negligent here.
@@GG-tb4ru Huh? She hit the ball at someone whose hands were full because she wasn't paying attention. Stop making excuses and trying to blame a little girl. Also there was a ball boy right there trying to get the ball. It isn't the player's job to pass balls to the ball people.

The player just passes the ball to the girl, and the ball touches her and she has an emotional panic attack helped by the other team accusing an aggression that didn't exist. Shame on Tormo and Bouzkova, that was really poor sportsmanship.

And that Ball girl should be disqualified also from stepping foot on a tennis court ever again! If you go swimming, at least prepare to get-wet?? John-De-Baptist...

As a Czech person i absolutely condemn this decision, both from the officials and the opponents like Bouzkova. Its absolutely unsportsmanship like behaviour. She said that she didnt know what happened to the girl so she went to the referee to tell him to investigate the situation properly, but we can hear laughing in the background at the end, where she is saying at 0:38 "díky moc" which means, thank you very much with a friendly tone. This was an absolute bs, what a disgrace to my country.
So now people will say “don’t be such a Bouxkova” to tell someone they have no sportsmanship. Shame on umpire though. Such a lack of character to allow himself to be pushed.

That's the real takeaway. Children should not be in high stake jobs like this where there is massive amounts of pressure to perform a job. They're better suited to be working the concession stand, not influencing professional tennis players careers and incomes.
I remember seeing Nadal mishit a ball and it nailed the ball girl on the head. She seemed to be as young or even younger than this girl. What did the girl do? She smiled and shook it off. I think it's this particular girl who cried who shouldn't be doing this; others would probably have been fine.

I read about this and the article made it seem much worse than what happened.
She hit the ball at a slow pace. So huh ? What the heck ❕❕❕❕❕🧐
My 4 year old can cry too
I am under shock. How this can happen in grand slam ? What a disgrace for the organizators who picked up that girl, clearly this is not her job. She can enjoy tennis in TV and stop being a match disruptor. What a disgrace also for the supervisor, who took such terrible decision after having some time for the assessment. Shame on Marie and Sara who took advantage of such unfortunate situation. The incompetence makes me crazy , I hope those decisions will have some consequences afterwards
Shame on Sorribes Tormo and Bouzkova! You win by such a low way!
Only devils can attack Bouzkova and Tormo. THEY did NOTHING wrong , insane devil.
Kato should have been more careful. Djokovic was disqualified so it's only fair that she is too
@@blue_red_screen Djokovic smashed the Ball at a woman. This was just a pass.😊
@@telmolicious just a pass? Had too much power
@@blue_red_screen Power? It was on a downwards trajectory.
Made worse by the opponents laughing/demanding the disqualification. Really classy sportsmanship right there.
Ballgirl over reacted.
No, she almost died !
@@chrisdelaplante5515 Do you play tennis? That ball was gently passed to her. And she turned away from it. She is either very poorly trained or scared of balls. Either way she should not be there. Causing the problem.

Позорницы. Надо выигрывать на корте, а не выпрашивать дисквалификации
Каску пускай одевают это вообще какой-то беспредел разнылась сама виновата а их удаляют
Теннистка попала прямым ударом в девочку и сделала вид, что ничего не случилось. Когда поднялась буча было поздно извиняться. Неуважение было наказано справедливо.

その通りです！
This is ridiculous. Shame on opposing players and the judges.
The umpire has to take ultimate responsibility since he has the power to disqualify. With great power comes great reponsibility and the umpire failed in this case. Not sure what he was thinking but I'm guessing he was swayed by the tears fom the ballgirl. Her crying like that is another separate issue.
such a bad call to disqualified Kato. very obvious Kato did not mean it and clearly not like out of her emotional hitting the ball. RG should train / brief ball girls/boys again there always be risks. And shame on the opponents for asking a default.
This is a clear discrimination to humble and polite Asian players, how else could the out come explained? She did not hit the ball in anger nor venting a frustration, just lightly sent the ball over to the other side, simply because the weak and immature ball girl showed a tear, the career of two top players destroyed by dirty opponents and weak officials. I will never watch “French Open” again. It’s new name is “ French Close”!
Congrats Kato & Puertz for winning the mix double 🎉💥
Sério isso? A bola nem bateu no peito da garota e sim nas costas. Mas é ridículo a dupla serem desclassificadas por isso. E ainda mais ridículo a dupla adversária pedir a desclassificação de suas oponentes.
Hey man. She bleeding and crying all over even though they didn't even check!
@@OddOtter707 bleeding and crying? What a drama queen😂😂

How disgraceful. I always liked Bouzkova, but I will no longer root for her. As for Sorribes Tormo, I've never been a fan of hers because of her loud grunt, but she is now officially one of my least favorite players.
スペイン人、チェコ人は勝つためならなんでもする国と認識しました。
国の代表ですから国民性もこの選手と一緒なのでしょうね。

She was disqualified for that? It wasn't anything malicious and the ball wasn't hit with a lot of force. This is a joke.
Shame on Bouzkova/Sorribes Tormo!! Getting involved, asking for a default despite not seeing what happened is really embarrassing. Pretty damning situation for Bouzkova, who had a clean "nice player" image. Not so nice after all, I guess.
Kato should not get away with it and should have paid more attention
Paid more attention? She did the normal thing in returning the ball. She wasn't aiming at the ball girl, but returning it to the end so the ball girl could collect it. Nor was she hitting it out of anger...
@@bone9jdjkaye with too much power
@blue red screen hence the warning. If it was done out of anger, or an unnecessary dangerous action then it'd be DQ. But this, accidentally overestimating power, is not any deliberate action. They would have got warning if other players didn't gleefully push for the default as they were afraid to lose.
@@blue_red_screen you never been a ball person. It comes with job. If she wants to cry its fine. If she’s hurt they can just change the ballgirl. Its really not big of a deal. Just shameless from the opponent trying to get a free win. Well thats women in sports in general. Only drama sells.
Kato didn’t meant it, the girl was crying because she was shocked, it was all fine till Bouzkova and Tormo provoke the referee
Afraid to be a loser... but they are loser already infact. Also Quit the referee... racism.. cant believe it happened at Rolland Garros
0:11 : Yes. They provoked the refree & earned an unethical point. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Indeed.... Just caught the ball girl off guard! Which im sure she didnt know if it was intentional or not. Obviously she is a little bit on the sensitive side. WHICH IS OK!!! BUT - as we can tell from the cameras - it was NOT INTENTIONAL AT ALL!!! Coward opponents.
@@codyferrell1031 True bro 👍
@@vamosrafa4110 Everything is racism to racists.
The umpire actually claims that disqualification is justified if you hit someone with a ball... and they are 'injured'. No way did that gentle tap on the shoulder from the ball 'injure' that girl. Absolutely ridiculous and a disgraceful response from the officials and the opposing team. The pathetic over-reaction from that ball girl clearly did not help matters and simply shows that she should never have been on court in the first place. Utterly disgusted by it all.
Pathetic is right, but this is what this world has come to. Pain and injury doesn't have to be physical can now apply to mental as well. She was clearly in some mentally anguished state seen from the tears she was shedding. I just refuse to believe the ball hitting her caused that. But there's nothing in the rulebook that says the injury has to be physical. Soft kids gets you soft mental state.
Ball girl seemed like she was more embarrassed than injured. It was just a tap as you can see.
Racist tramps
@@genso3065 well those French Open organizers should have trained the ball kids better. But in any case, the ball girl should not be blamed as being done by the mad dogs in this comment section; the adults make the decisions not her.
@@angryjalapeno I think you tagged the wrong person...
It was an absolutely ridiculous decision:
1. It's crystal clear that Ms. Kato has no bad intention to hit the girl with the ball. And the ball travel at very slow pace.
2. The ball hit the back of the girl. (Shoulder blade), then she crying and rubbing her chest.
3.The ball boy/ girl must perform rigorous drills that test court awareness, agility and the ability to roll, catch and toss a tennis ball.
Her intention is irrelevant, just like a puck-out in hockey renders a 2 min penalty regardless of intent. The same goes for a football player who misses the ball and trips an opponent inside the penalty area.
However, since you brought up intent, to me it seems like Kato is aiming in the ball girl's direction, even though the latter is focused on the player that is about to serve and is not ready to receive the incoming ball.
She must’ve been a token selection
drills lol aint no time for that, thus explained some mediocrity
@@Snowkobbie kato just wanted to send the ball back to the ball girl
@@Snowkobbie and on your both examples, the hockey player and the football player don't get disqualified. Bad example.
No wonder there were so many empty seats during the whole tournament. The management of Roland Garros should apologize to the players and the whole world. Is this what a Grand Slam tournament should look like? Disgusting and disgraceful.
I just can't believe what has just unfolded here! Ball hits the ballgirl accidentally and the ump kicks out the doubles team? You kidding me?
Amelie Mauresmo should be fired.
Justice for Aldila & Kato. It wasn't intentional. They should not have been defaulted. Federer and Nadal have hit ballkids unintentionally and they were never defaulted. Where is "rules are rules"? And to Bouzkova and Sorribes Tormo, absolutely disgraceful for pushing to default your opponents.
What about Nole?????
@@zagaaaaable it's unfair.
@@zagaaaaable it happend to Novak at the US Open i think in 2020. He unintentially hit a lines woman and got disqualified. When one looks at that scene it is almost like this one. But the american held her throat and
made a fuss. Looking back at that video, it shows clearly he did not hit hard and the ball touched her
shoulder, not her throat. But at that time, they wanted Novak out and it worked.
players “shall not violently, dangerously or with anger hit, kick or throw a tennis ball within the precincts of the tournament site except in the reasonable pursuit of a point during a match (including warm-up)”. That's the rule. Obviously in this case it wasn't violently hit or done with anger. That only leaves dangerously. I guess an argument can be made that she should have looked before hitting the ball and if she had she would have seen the ball girl's hands were full. To me a warning was sufficient here because she didn't hit the ball very hard and there was clearly zero intent for this to happen. It was just negligence.
@@juttaweise it's pretty much the same case as for Djoko. If he got defaulted, so should they.
What value is there in a sport where you can win if you criticize your opponent? "It's ridiculous. This is a farce."
Tennis players: never retrieve/return the balls from now on, let umpires or referees or tournament supervisors picking up the balls from now on
The umpire's behavior Is absolutely shocking. He is either incompetent or dishonest.
Probably both
Typical behavior of their skin color
Kato was just passing the ball to the ball girl expecting the ball girl to catch it, like how Roger does it all the time…
It’s awesome how tennis players pass the ball to the ball kids to catch, it’s quite entertaining when the ball kids make a great catch
Yea expecting her to catch it when her hands were CLEARLY full with other tennis balls. The problem was Kato was negligent and didn't bother looking first. The girl didn't have a free hand. Not saying she should have been disqualified but lets not pretend she wasn't at the very least negligent here.
@@GG-tb4ru Huh? She hit the ball at someone whose hands were full because she wasn't paying attention. Stop making excuses and trying to blame a little girl. Also there was a ball boy right there trying to get the ball. It isn't the player's job to pass balls to the ball people.
@@red2977 Are you this girl? Why else are you making it seem like we’re taking about juggling knives. A tennis ball lightly hit her shoulder. ffs. I hope this girl doesn’t try playing tennis, she’ll be distraught
You do know that you can... drop the balls?
