News summary

British tennis player Harriet Dart has apologized for her controversial comment during a match against French player Lois Boisson at the Rouen Open, where she asked the umpire to tell Boisson to wear deodorant due to a 'really bad' smell. Dart, who lost the match 6-0, 6-3, took to Instagram to express regret, stating her remark was a 'heat-of-the-moment comment' and that she takes full responsibility for her words. In response, Boisson humorously edited a photo of herself to include a Dove deodorant and tagged the company, suggesting a collaboration. The incident drew widespread criticism on social media, with some fans calling for Dart to face consequences. Despite the controversy, Boisson's victory marked a significant comeback as it was her first WTA Tour appearance this season after dealing with injuries. Dart acknowledged her respect for Boisson and emphasized her intent to learn from the experience.
