Royal ban on tennis bad boy

FORMER Romanian tennis player Ilie Nastase will not be invited in to the Wimbledon royal box at this year’s championship after his actions during the recent Fed Cup match between Great Britain and Romania.

Nastase triggered accusations of racist and sexist behaviour when he made comments about the colour of Serena Williams’ unborn child, and asked British Fed Cup captain Anne Keothavong for her room number repeatedly.

The International Tennis Federation provisionally suspended Nastase from attending any ITF event. – The Independent
