Our thanks to Ian for this. Extracts:

“The French Open says it will impose a “significant” fine on Adolfo Daniel Vallejo after he made “unacceptable” and “sexist” comments about a female umpire.

Vallejo, 22, said his second-round match at Roland Garros should not have been umpired by Brazil’s Ana Carvalho as women do not have the “courage” to handle the crowd…

According to the Grand Slam rulebook, Vallejo could receive a fine of up to $100,000 (£74,200) for unsportsmanlike conduct.”
