Tennis fans were enraged by Nick Kyrgios's support of Miyu Kato and Aldila Sutjiadi’s disqualification from the 2023 French Open. Many found it ironic that Krygios, who accidentally hit a boy in the crowd during the 2022 Australian Open men’s doubles quarter-finals, agreed with the decision to disqualify Kato and Sutjiadi.During a women’s doubles fourth-round match, Miyu Kato hit a ball on the other side of the net, which hit a ball girl. The umpire issued a code violation against Kato but the ball girl continued to cry. The opposing team of Sara Sorribes Tormo and Marie Bouzkova appealed to chair umpire Alexandre Juge for a default.After a discussion with grand slam supervisor Wayne McKewen and tournament referee Remy Azemar, the default was issued, resulting in Kato and Sutjiadi being immediately disqualified from the tournament.Nick Kyrgios took to Twitter on June 5 to support the decision, stating since the ball hit a kid, it was a default.“All around the world, whether it be having people chanting your name, idolising you, getting booed at, it’s always going to be a factor in sport. Why are we having so many people complain about it? Also, it’s not about the intent, if you a hit a ball at a kid it’s a default," he wrote.Nicholas Kyrgios@NickKyrgiosall around the world, whether it be having people chanting your name, idolising you, getting booed at, it’s always going to be a factor in sport.
