During her defeat in the first round of the WTA tournament in Rouen against the French Lois Boisson on Tuesday, the British Harriet Dart complained of the smell of her opponent and made a surprising request to the referee.
Sentedly beaten by laws drink in the first round Tuesday (6-0, 6-3), Harriett Dart did not last long at the WTA 250 tournament in Rouen. This did not prevent him from being noticed for lunar remarks to a side change. Then led 6-0, 4-3, the Briton complained of the smell of the French. “Can you tell her to put deodorant? She feels really bad,” the referee asked the world, before losing the next two games and therefore the match.
If Lois Boisson, already left on the other side of the field, did not hear it pronouncing these words, the sequence was captured by the cameras and quickly gained momentum on social networks. Which prompted the Briton to do her mea-culpa in the evening.
-A humorous response
“Hi everyone, I want to apologize for what I said about the court today, it is a comment made in the fire of action and that I sincerely regret. This is not the way I want to behave and I assume responsibility,” she assured on her social networks, adding having “a lot of respect for laws and the way she played today”.
The Frenchwoman, on the other hand, chose to react with humor. The 303rd world player, beneficiary of a Wild-Card (invitation), posted in Story Instagram a photo of her by adding a Dove deodorant and identifying the brand to offer a collaboration, all with emojis that cry with laughter.
At 21 years old and back for only a few weeks after a break in the previous cross ligament of the left knee in May 2024, Lois Boisson won his very first success in the Briton. She will face the Japanese Moyuka Uchijima (60th) or the Russian Kamilla Rakhimova (71st) in the next round.
