Tennis player Maxime Hamou has been banned by the organisers of the French Open after he tried to kiss a female reporter repeatedly during a live TV interview.

 

The French player, 21, kissed journalist Maly Thomas while holding her around her neck and shoulders, despite her efforts to duck away.

 

The French Tennis Federation (FTT) condemned the "reprehensible behaviour" and ordered an investigation.

 

Hamou has apologised for his actions.

 

The incident happened after he was knocked out of the first round of the competition on Monday.

 

 

It is the latest case to provoke allegations of harassment of female sports reporters.

 

Several anchors and commentators on the Eurosport programme Avantage Leconte laughed and clapped as it unfolded.

 

The episode drew ire on social media, including from French politician Cécile Duflot.

 

"He kisses her by force, she tries to get away, he holds her by the neck and everyone... laughs #tired," the Green MP wrote on Twitter (in French).

 

Quoted by the Huffington Post France, Ms Thomas described the player's actions as "frankly unpleasant".
