    A French player at the French Open gets only a warning when his ball strikes a fan

    A French player at the French Open was allowed to continue his first-round match without being penalized after hitting a ball angrily and accidentally striking a spectator in the stands at one of the event's smaller courts Sunday. Terence Atmane, a 22-year-old with a career-best ranking of 120th, smacked a ball over the wall into the seats behind the opposite baseline at 492-capacity Court 12 after losing a point in the fourth set against Sebastian Ofner of Austria. Play was delayed for nearly 15 minutes while the chair umpire and a tournament referee spoke to the fan who was hit and tried to decide what, if any, action to take against Atmane.

    French Open 2024: today’s order of play, the full draw and how to watch on TV

    Today could see the last time Rafael Nadal plays at Roland Garros the venue he has dominated since the mid-noughties. Fourteen titles on the red dirt of Paris is something the sport will likely never see again, but if you think he has deserved a kind draw as his career nears its end then fate clearly doesn’t agree. The Spaniard faces fourth seed Alexander Zverev in a first-round match that will test both his diminishing clay-court powers and his creaking body.
