During the Rouen Open, Harriet Dart made headlines after a hot-mic incident where she requested an umpire to ask her opponent Lois Boisson to wear deodorant. Dart expressed her concerns about Boisson's hygiene during a changeover, which went viral. Despite this incident, Boisson won the match 6-0, 6-3 and humorously responded on social media, suggesting a collaboration with Dove. Dart later apologized for her comment, stating it was a heat-of-the-moment remark. This incident has sparked discussions on sports etiquette and personal boundaries in professional tennis.
"Can you tell her to wear deodorant?" Dart asked the umpire after rising from a chair during the changeover in a hot-mic moment that has since gone viral.
Boisson seemingly did not hear the comment, according to reports. She ultimately defeated Dart, 6-0, 6-3, to advance to the second round.
"Hey everyone, I want to apologise (sic) for what I said on the court today, it was a heat-of-the-moment comment that I truly regret," Dart wrote.
Boisson then had some fun with her opponent's remarks, posting on Instagram: "@dove apparently need a collab," alongside a praying hands and two laughing emojis.
