The disqualification of the Japanese player hitting the caddy spread around the world, and the opponent really hurt others and disadvantaged themselves
In the third round of the French Open women's doubles, Japan's Yuki Kato's "ball hit the female caddy and was disqualified" could not be calmed. Although it was originally a warning, due to the stubborn protests of the opponent Tomo (Spain)/Buzkova (Czech Republic), the punishment turned into disqualification, so the inside story of how Buzkova and Tormo, who were considered to lack sportsmanship, protested against the referee's verdict was also revealed. The New York Post quoted Reuters as saying that "after the female caddie was hit, referee Alexander Jugg initially gave Kato a warning." However, this was before the pressure of Buzkova, Tormo, who advocated disqualification for breaking the rules. ”
The Tomo (Spain)/Buzkova (Czech Republic) duo was photographed snickering after learning that their opponent had been disqualified
At first, Referee Jugg replied to the Tormo/Buzkova duo who protested loudly across the net: "No, no." I would like to let me elaborate. [Kato] didn't mean it. (Female caddies) are not injured. ”。 As a result, Buzkova and Tormo advocated "Is she malicious?" She's not crying."
It is said that Buzkova also urged the referee to get up from his seat to confirm the condition of the female caddie. Then the super director (tournament director) of the French Open appeared and announced that the combination of Yuki Kato/Sujadi was disqualified.
Kato Weiwei joined Tim Putz (Germany) to reach the French Open mixed doubles semifinals on the 6th Beijing time, and she cried for the enthusiastic cheers of the fans.
Although the Tolmo/Buzkova pair was criticized by tennis players and fans one after another, after Buzkova explained to local Czech media that "it was not our fault", Tormo also responded at a press conference after losing the third round of women's singles. According to several French media reports, she answered like this. "Buzkova and I have a hard time seeing people's accusations. We just explained to the referee what happened. Because the female caddy cried, she said 'what happened' 'the ball hit her directly'. The referee did not see that (the disqualification sanction was) the supervisor's decision. We didn't do anything. ”
Does the Spanish player Tormo regret his actions?
According to the Spanish "As" reported on the 6th, Spanish player Tormo's Instagram received nearly 7,000 critical voices. In an interview with the newspaper, Tormo said: "I don't see the information. Obviously did nothing, but was accused of being painful. People who actually watch the game don't really think that's the case (critical comments on Instagram)."
In addition, in the quarterfinals of the women's doubles of the French Open, the Tormo/Buzkova combination lost directly to the Merrichard (USA)/Perez (Australia) combination 5-7, 3-6, and did not qualify for the semifinals.
