Daniel Vallejo has publicly apologized after the controversy generated by his comments at Roland Garros, saying that "he should not referee a woman." "I want to begin by apologizing to all the people I offended with my comments. The truth is that I expressed myself in a very incorrect way," said the Paraguayan. Vallejo insisted that "I am the only one responsible for that defeat, and no one else," and assured that he has already apologized to the referee and to the French Federation. "I do not believe that women are incapable of refereeing a match of such magnitude," he clarified. "I am 22 years old, I will learn from this and be much more aware next time," he concluded.
