Japanese tennis player Kato Miyu has claimed the mixed doubles title at the French Open. The win comes just days after she was controversially disqualified from the women's doubles.

Kato and her German partner Tim Puetz defeated Bianca Andreescu of Canada and Michael Venus of New Zealand by 4-6, 6-4, 10-6.

Kato displayed joy over her win after her default in the women's doubles that occurred when she hit a ball girl with a shot that she says was unintentional.

The player was also forced to forfeit her prize money and ranking points. She later lodged an appeal to the Grand Slam board against her default.
After the match, Kato said dealing with being disqualified was hard on her psychologically. She also thanked fans and those who supported her.
