The French Open announced it will impose a significant fine on Paraguayan player Adolfo Daniel Vallejo after he made sexist comments about female umpire Ana Carvalho, saying women lack the courage to handle crowds. Vallejo lost his second-round match to French teenager Moise Kouame and could face a fine of up to $100,000 under Grand Slam rules for unsportsmanlike conduct.
