Statement from the French Tennis Federation and the Roland-Garros tournament organisers
The competence of an umpire is not determined by their gender, but by their professionalism and ability to officiate at the highest level. The 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 Daniel Vallejo in the form of a fine.
The 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’s umpiring officials.
