The women's tennis pair consisting of Miyu Kato (Japan) and Aldila Sutiadi (Indonesia) is disqualified from "Roland Garros" after Kato accidentally hit a girl who was collecting balls on the field.

The video clearly shows that Kato did not intend to hit the girl, and the incident led to a disqualification at the request of opponents Sara Soribes Tormo (Spain) and Maria Bouzkova (Czech Republic).

The referee then made the final disqualification decision after consulting with representatives of the Roland Garros organizers.

The girl who was hit by the ball was in tears, she did not suffer major physical injuries, so she was taken off the field.

A similar situation was observed at the US Open in 2020, when the Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic was disqualified from the Grand Slam tournament in New York because he accidentally hit the line judge Laura Clark with the ball.
