Second ban for Nastase

ILIE NASTASE has been barred from a second grand slam this year after French Open organisers followed their Wimbledon counterparts. Nastase, Romania’s Fed Cup captain, was provisionally suspended by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) after his behaviour during April’s tie against Great Britain, after he made an apparently racist comment about Serena Williams’ unborn baby and repeatedly asked British captain Anne Keothavong for her room number during press conferences.
