Harriet Dart Apologizes for Rouen Open Remarks

News summary

British tennis player Harriet Dart has apologized after making a controversial remark during a match at the Rouen Open, where she requested the umpire to tell her opponent, Lois Boisson, to 'wear deodorant' due to a bad odor. Dart's comments, picked up by a courtside microphone, attracted significant criticism on social media. Dart issued an apology on Instagram, acknowledging her lapse in judgment and expressing respect for her opponent.

The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) has not commented on whether they will take any disciplinary action against Dart.
