Daniel Vallejo has become one of the main figures at Roland Garros 2026, and not for the better. In an interview with Clay Tennis, he stated that "this kind of match (against Kouame in five sets) should be officiated by a man, it is very difficult for a woman to have the strength to go against such an intense crowd." The tournament organization decided to take action by imposing a financial fine and hours later, the Paraguayan tennis player spoke out again through his social media.

"I want to clarify that my comments were not made with the intention they have been interpreted. I have respect for the umpire and the job she did. After a 5-hour battle, I was very heated and emotional. I apologize. I also want to clarify that I did not blame her for the defeat. She did a good job throughout the match. I will learn from this and improve. I also have great respect for Roland Garros, the French Tennis Federation, and everyone involved in tennis."
