Rafael Jodar denies shoving ball girl after French Open win
Spain's Rafael Jodar won a five-set match over American Alex Michelsen at the French Open, but the post-match discussion centered on claims that he shoved a ball girl.
A reporter raised the allegation during Jodar's press conference. Jodar denied it and said the ball girl tripped over a rolled-up tarp as he walked past her on the way to see his father during a bathroom break.
Video of the incident shows Jodar never made contact with the ball girl. The timing and camera angle created the appearance of contact on first viewing, but repeated watches confirm he did not push her.
The reporter's question prompted Jodar to address the claim even though footage available online showed no contact.
