The British tennis player said "deodorant" to the other party in a garbish of words, and after causing controversy, he had no choice but to apologize. According to a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on the 16th, Harriot Dart (28 years old) made problematic remarks during the match with French player Royce Boisson (21 years old) in the first round of the women's singles of the French Open on the Women's Professional Tennis (WTA) Tour.

Dart told the referee when the two sides switched sides in the second set: "Please tell Boisson to put on some deodorant, it smells really strong." The scene where Dart said this was directly exposed to fans through the live broadcast.
After the controversy, Dart quickly apologized. "I want to apologize for what I said on the pitch today," he said via Instagram. This is a statement that is biased towards the feelings of that moment, and I sincerely regret it. ”
Dart, ranked 110th in the WTA and fourth among British women's singles players, lost 0-2 (0-6, 3-6) to No. 303 Boisson.

Dart didn't seem to be able to overcome his powerlessness and said something he shouldn't have said. Dart added: "I will take full responsibility for my mistakes. I have great respect for Boisson's form today. I will learn from this lesson and become a better person. ”
Because Boisson was standing on the pitch while Dart was sitting on the bench and talking to the referee, he was unable to hear his opponent's question directly, and Boisson answered the controversy with a witty SNS post afterwards. Boisson posted on Instagram the words "looks like a collaboration is needed" and a photo of "Dove" Deo Dorant, much to the delight of his fans.
