PARIS - A French player who tried to kiss a television reporter against her will during a live television broadcast at Roland Garros was banished from the tournament on Tuesday for his "reprehensible behavior".
Maxime Hamou, 21, grabbed Eurosport journalist Maly Thomas around the neck and shoulders while she interviewed him following his first-round defeat on Monday.
"It was frankly unpleasant. If it hadn't been live on air, I would have punched him," Thomas told the French edition of The Huffington Post.
