Miyu Kato's rebellion after being disqualified: win the mixed doubles and ask for the points, money and reputation to be returned
“It has been a mental challenge these last few days after my unfair disqualification from the women's doubles”. This was the statement that the Japanese Miyu Kato read in Philippe Chatrier a few days after being disqualified from the women's doubles tournament at Roland Garros. This Thursday he won the mixed final with the German Tim Puetz, who is also his coach, and took the opportunity to request compensation for that decision.
Controversy over the disqualification of the Japanese Kato after an involuntary ball hit a ball boy
After winning the 'super tie break' of the final against the couple formed by Bianca Andreescu and Michael Venus, by 4-6, 6-4 and 10-6, the Japanese wanted to settle accounts with the organizers, whom she held responsible for her disqualification in the second round of the women's double against the Spanish Sara Sorribes and the Czech Marie Bouzkova.
“The messages of support I received have helped me win this mix,” said the Japanese. She added that she hopes to be able to repeat the match in which she was disqualified and announced that she has requested that they return the prize money and the points that were taken from her for that incident.. “I hope to be able to play again with Aldila against Sorribes and Bouzkova. I have made an appeal so that they give me back the points, my money and my reputation,” he said.
Kato was disqualified after, after a point, she threw a ball against one of the funds and hit a ball boy, who began to cry.
