Dart apologizes for “stinky” opponent jibe
Harriet Dart the British No.4 has apologised after suggesting to the Chair Umpire during her first round loss, 0-6,3-6 at the Rouen Open in France to Lois Boisson, that her opponent “should wear deodorant, she smells really bad.”
The crushing defeat lasted just 28 minutes.
Dart later posted on her Instagram page : “I want to apologise for what I said on court today, it was a heat-of-the-moment comment that I truly regret.
“That’s not how I want to carry myself, and I take full responsibility. I have a lot of respect for Lois and how she competed today.
“I’ll learn from this and move forward.”
Today the French player made light of the incident and “reached out” on Her Instagram page that WTA Sponsor and soap manufacturer Dove might be looking for a “collab”
