Tennis Player BO – “She Smells Really Bad”
What’s a tennis match without a little drama? French tennis player Lois Boisson turned an awkward on-court moment into pure internet gold after a spicy comment from British rival Harriet Dart set social media alight. Dart noted of the Tennis player BO “She Smells Really Bad!”
Harriet Dart’s “Smells Bad” Jab Hits the Mic
We know that sometimes sports can get a little smelly, but during a changeover at the Rouen Open, Harriet Dart – clearly frustrated during her 6-0, 6-3 loss – was caught by a courtside mic telling the umpire, “Can you tell her [Boisson] to wear deodorant because she smells really bad?” Oof. That’s one way to serve it up off-court. The comment about tennis player body odour quickly made the rounds online, sparking both chuckles and criticism.
Boisson’s Ace Comeback: Dove Collab, Anyone?
Instead of fuming, Lois Boisson volleyed back with peak Gen Z energy. Taking to Instagram, the 21-year-old posted a cheeky edited image of herself mid-match holding a can of Dove deodorant. The caption? “@dove apparently need a collab 😂😂”
Now that’s how you spin female tennis player BO into a brand opportunity. While Dove hasn’t commented (yet), the internet is absolutely here for a “fresh” partnership.
Apology Game Strong from Dart
After the backlash, Dart issued an Instagram story apology, admitting it was a “heat-of-the-moment comment” she truly regretted. “That’s not how I want to carry myself,” she added, while showing respect for Boisson and her performance. Hey, we all say things we regret – especially when we’re down a bagel and change.
Even tennis’s resident firecracker, Nick Kyrgios, chimed in with a tweet: “Saying this when you are down and getting snipped is wild.”
From Tennis Body Odour to Top 16
Boisson, currently ranked No 303 and in the tournament as a wildcard, brushed off the drama and focused on her game. She’ll now face Japan’s Moyuka Uchijima in the last 16. Whether or not she’s rocking Dove on court, one thing’s for sure – she’s got fresh energy and even fresher comebacks.
Let this be a reminder: on the court, it’s not just your forehand that can land a winner – it’s how you play off the court too.
