Harriet Dart: Sorry for opposition comments on opponent Lois Boisson in public failure in Rouen

Britain's fourth-ranked Harriet Dart apologized for asking the referee to tell his French opponent that he committed a deodorant in the first round of the Rooney Open.

Dart lost 6-0 6-3 to Lois Boisson, including the 28-year-old 28-year-old being swept in 28 minutes.

During the second shift, DART was heard on the radio asking the official: “Can you ask her to put on a deodorant? Her smell is really bad.”

But DART later posted on her Instagram story: “I want to apologize for what I said in court today, which is a saying I really regret.

“That's not the way I want to take my own responsibility, I take full responsibility. I have a lot of respect for Louis and her game today.

“I will learn from it and move forward.”

When the British commented to the referee, Boisson returned to the court while DART was still sitting down, seemingly unaware.

But she later she shed light on the incident in her Instagram story and posted an edited photo with some deodorant and telling the toiletry company Dove that they “apparently need to work together.”
