magazine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very difficult for a woman to do it because the crowd is very annoying. You need to have a lot of courage to go against the crowd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vallejo added that Kouame \u201ctook up a lot of time on many occasions, lying on the floor or stalling\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it\u2019s not normal for the crowd to be shouting for a full minute without any play. In a match where the physical aspect matters so much, if you give a player a lot of time he\u2019s obviously going to take advantage of it. The truth is it\u2019s also difficult for a referee to manage this situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 17-year-old Kouame was roared on by passionate home supporters during the thriller that lasted four hours and 56 minutes, but Vallejo insisted the atmosphere only helped his opponent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew it was going to be like that. It didn\u2019t harm me, it only strengthened him,\u201d he said, adding that a male umpire would have \u201cabsolutely\u201d made a difference against the \u201cdisrespectful\u201d crowd.<\/p>\n<p>The FFT swiftly condemned the comments as \u201cunacceptable\u201d and announced the fine.<\/p>\n<div class=\"container--ads in-article-ads\">\n<div class=\"ads\"><span class=\"ads__title\"> Advertisement <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe competence of an umpire is not determined by their gender, but by their professionalism and ability to officiate at the highest level,\u201d the FFT said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe outcome of a sporting event, whether positive or negative, can never justify or excuse such remarks. The tournament organisers will impose a significant sanction on Adolfo Vallejo in the form of a fine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Roland Garros tournament strongly condemns all sexist remarks, regardless of who makes them, and offers its support to the match umpire and, more broadly, to all the tournament\u2019s umpiring officials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vallejo attempted damage control on social media, claiming his comments were taken out of context.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never spoke about women in general, I was referring specifically to the referee, who failed to manage the crowd at any point during the match,\u201d he posted on X.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat said, I didn\u2019t say I lost because of her either. I congratulated the opponent and it\u2019s only natural for the crowd to support the home player.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ListenListen (3 mins) Save Click here to share on social media share-nodes Share facebookxwhatsapp-strokecopylink googleAdd Al Jazeera on Googleinfo Adolfo Daniel Vallejo of Paraguay in action during his Men&#8217;s 2nd round match against Moise Kouame of France, at the French Open Grand Slam tennis tournament in Roland Garros, Paris, France, May 28, 2026 [Yoan Valat\/EPA] [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1221,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
