PARIS: The Japanese-Indonesian women's doubles pair was defaulted from the French Open on Sunday after the Japanese Miyu Kato took a swipe at the ball that hit a ball girl in the head.
Kato and her Indonesian partner, Aldila Sutjiadi, the 16th seeds, were leading Marie Bouzkova and Sara Sorribes Tormo 7-6 (1), 1-3 in the third round of the women's doubles when the Japanese player hit the ball down to the other end of the court at the end of a point.
