British tennis player Harriet Dart, ranked world No. 110, made an unusual request to the chair umpire during her first-round match at the WTA 250 tournament in Rouen, France.
Dart was competing against 21-year-old French player Lois Boisson, ranked No. 303 globally, who entered the tournament as a wild card.
During a changeover when she was trailing 0/6, 3/4, Dart asked the umpire: `Can you please ask her to use deodorant? She smells really bad.` The umpire did not take any action.
Dart was defeated by Boisson with a score of 0/6, 3/6. Boisson will next compete against the winner of the match between Moyuka Uchijima of Japan and Kamilla Rakhimova of Russia.
