Stars booted out of French Open after ball girl left in tears by careless blunder

Two tennis stars have been booted out of the French Open after one of the pair inadvertently left a ball girl in tears.

Miyu Kato and Aldila Sutjiadi were taking on Marie Bouzkova and Sara Sorribes Tormo in the third round of the women's doubles when the incident happened. Bouzkova and Sorribes Tormo had edged the first set 7-6 on Court 14.

Their opponents had fought back in the second set though and were 3-1 up with the set in the fifth game. The score was level at 30-30 when Kato hit the ball cross-court over the net as Sorribes Tormo prepared to serve.
