Japanese tennis player miyu katoDisqualified from the 3rd round of the women’s doubles match, she advanced to the final in the mixed doubles competition.
Miyu Kato and Germany’s Tim Pütz defeated Indonesian Aldila Sutjiadi and Dutch Matwe Middelkop in the mixed doubles semi-finals.
Roland Garros. 1/2 final mix
Miyu Kato / Tim Pütz – Aldila Sutjiadi / Matwe Middelkop – 7:5, 6:0
Note that Miya Kato was disqualified for hitting a girl with the ball. The head of the judiciary decided to deprive her of the prize money and the points she had achieved in the women’s doubles category. It was decided that Kato would continue to fight in mixed doubles, as the actions of the Japanese were considered unintentional and accidental.
It is curious that Aldila Sutjiadi will play alongside Miyu Kato in women’s doubles. The Indonesian tennis player, unlike the Japanese, will receive points and cash prizes for reaching the third round.
