Paraguayan player Adolfo Daniel Vallejo is facing a “significant sanction” after saying his second-round match at the French Open should not have been umpired by a woman.
Vallejo was unhappy with Ana Carvalho’s handling of his five-set defeat by French teenager Moise Kouame on Thursday and, in quotes reported by Clay magazine, he said: “This sort of match needs to be umpired by a man, it’s very difficult for a woman to do it.”
