Tennis star and World No 287, Maxime Hamou has issued an apology for kissing a female reporter during a post-match interview at the French Open on Monday.
The 21-year-old from France on Wednesday was banished from the French Open by the French Tennis Federation (FTT) after he was shown live on TV grabbing broadcast reporter Maly Thomas around the neck, shoulders, and was seen forcing his lips on the reporter despite her efforts to pull away. (Watch the incident here)
Speaking to French newspaper l’Equipe, Hamou expressed remorse for the incident, saying he would like to apologize to Thomas in person.
'I want to offer my deepest apologies to Maly Thomas if she felt hurt or shocked by my attitude during her interview.
'I just lived a wonderful week here in Roland Garros living my most beautiful emotions as a tennis player, and I let my overflow of enthusiasm express myself awkwardly towards Maly, who I know and sincerely respect. Nothing of all that is written was my intention.
“I am at her disposal to apologise to her in person if she so wishes. I learn every day from my mistakes to become a better tennis player and a better person.”
Eurosport’s tennis correspondent Henri Leconte also apologized for applauding Maxime Hamou unwanted advances towards Maly Thomas when it was shown on Eurosport show 'Avantage Leconte'.
I wanted to go back to the incident last night concerning the duplex with our reporter Maly Thomas and the player Maxime Hamou.I want to make it clear that we do not endorse this type of behavior. Maly is a great professional who deserves an apology,” said the former grand slam winner.
'Our live response was also not appropriate, we should have intervened quickly. We apologise to our viewers,' he added.

Venus Williams hints that Serena is expecting a baby girl and wants her niece to be named after her
Serena Williams is expecting a baby girl according to excitable aunty Venus who might have just let it slip.
The proud aunty-to-be who is still breaking records in the absence of her sister Serena, referred to the bun in the oven as a ‘she’ at the 2017 French Open.
In an interview at the sports event after beating Kurumi Nara on Wednesday, the Mail Online reported that the 36-year-old said: ‘I want to be known as the favourite aunt.’
‘We’re like baby V, baby Lyn, baby Esher, we all want the baby to be named after us.’
Meanwhile, pregnant Serena who was seen cheering and supporting her sister in the audience during the game has previously admitted that she and her partner refer to their child as ‘baby’ as they want the gender to be a surprise. So if that’s the case, maybe aunty Venus just has X-ray vision?
The tennis champion who is engaged to Reddit co-founder, Alexis Ohanian, accidentally announced her pregnancy through Snapchat and has since been sharing sweet pics and videos.
Back in April she posted a cute letter to her unborn child in an Instagram post, saying: ‘I can’t wait for you to join the players box next year. But most importantly, I am so happy to share being number one in the world with you….’
Ariana Grande will return to Manchester with ex-military security squad
Ariana Grande will reportedly return to Manchester with ‘a top of the line security squad’ made up of ex-military personnel.
The 23-year-old singer was caught up in the terrifying terror attack that rocked the Manchester Arena on Monday May 22 when a suicide bomber targeted the foyer as Grande’s concert ended; 22 people have died.
Following the attack Grande postponed the rest of her European tour, and later revealed she would hold a benefit concert which would also include performances from Miley Cyrus, Pharrell Williams, Take That, Coldplay, Justin Bieber, Usher, Katy Perry and Niall Horan.
However the young singer was left understandably shaken by the ordeal, and a source close to the singer has admitted that ‘Ariana’s new security team consists of ex-military and is said to be the best in the business’.
Speaking to Radar Online they added: ‘She is going to have 24-hour surveillance from now on, no matter what the cost is.’
The One Love Manchester Benefit Concert will take place at Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Ground on Sunday June 4 to raise money for the victims of the Manchester terror attack and their families; proceeds will go to the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund, which was set up by the Manchester City Council in partnership with the British Red Cross to aid the families of the victims, and those who were at the concert on May 22 will get their tickets for free.
According to People magazine the singer, 23, was ‘absolutely crushed and devastated’ by the incident.
A source said: ‘It’s so, so sad. She loves her fans and is absolutely crushed and devastated as you can imagine. She can’t believe this happened. She just wants to be with her family and loved ones right now.’

Featuring cutaway detailing to further emphasise her already teeny waist, the blonde babe looked every inch the screen siren as she looked away from the camera and pouted seductively.
Displaying her trademark bronzed glow, the beauty showcased her toned thighs and enviably hourglass physique.
On Friday, the jet-set reality star was spotted partying with her former TOWIE co-stars at the launch of new online fashion brand, I Saw It First.com, at Ocean Beach Ibiza.
Knocking back cocktails and champagne as she boogied in the sunshine, the reality star looked incredible in a teeny-tiny peach string bikini. More photos below;

Read What Zee World Has Done To Husband And Wife in Yenagoa
Zee World TV series is becoming something else. Just like years ago when Second Chance was televised on AIT, many Nigeria homes embraced it especially the female folks.
This TV series then bridged gap between husband and wife. Some of the families got separated and some quarrel a very long time.
This time it is Zee World series, starting from King of Heart, Twist of Fate, and the rest of them.
Just weeks back in Yenagoa, Man beat his wife for watching Zee World abandoning her food on fire to burn.
From close source, the man name withheld had warned his wife not to be distracted by Zee world but seem as if the warning did not go down well with her.
On that fateful day, the woman was cooking in the kitchen and left it on to watch King of Heart forgetting she is cooking. Unfortunately for her, the husband stepped it and caught her watching TV while her pot already burnt. The man has no option than to bounce her. This fight resulted to injuries.
My advice is that women should not be carried away by ordinary scripted drama.

Singer Katy Perry shows her white pant while performing on One’s Big Weekend on Saturday night.
Singer Katy Perry flashed her knickers as she headlined Radio One’s Big Weekend on Saturday night.
The Bon Appetit singer took to the stage in Hull in a shimmering mini dress and matching jacket, but as she squatted down during her performance, she revealed her white underwear to the crowd.
Katy didn’t seem fazed though, giving an energetic performance as she danced and got the crowd going as she belted her way through some of her biggest hits.
The 32-year-old’s headline set came after she performed a tiny gig at London pub The Water Rats on Thursday.
The pub was the first UK venue she played nine years ago and she returned to launch Roman Kemp’s Capital Breakfast Show.
n stage, Katy didn’t hold back, as The Sun’s Bizarre column exclusively revealed how she confessed her sex life has never been better, despite splitting from Orlando Bloom in March.
Katy said: “Let me tell you, if you’re not having great sex now, in your thirties it’s going to be amazing.
“I can’t speak to those of you in your forties but I bet it’s great.
“And it’s fun and it’s consensual and it’s intimate, it’s so much fun if it’s consensual and beautiful.
Ex BBNaija housemate, Ese finally breaks silence on inability to give full meaning of B.sc
Recall that the beauty queen currently got the heat on social media after she woefully failed to say the full meaning of B.Sc on international TV. She was recently on HipTV’s show, ‘Trending as a guest’. Along the line, she was asked to give the full meaning of B.Sc by the show’s host Nancy Isime and she fumbled.
The College of Education, Ekiadolor, Edo State graduate, took to her Snapchat page to give reasons why events unfolded that way, blaming it all on cold feet.
Here’s what she wrote;
Unbelievable!!! "Remove My Genitals So I Look Like Alien:" Make-Up Artist Begs Doctors
A make-up artist is begging doctors to remove his penis so he can achieve his dream of looking like an alien .
Los Angeles-based Vinny Ohh, 23, has already spent £45,000 transforming himself into a 'genderless alien.' He has undergone surgery three times and had 110 procedures to achieve his current look, including two rhinoplasties and 35 whole body and face laser treatments.
But his dreams may never come true as surgeons warn he may not be able to have the operation - which would be a world-first. The wannabe extraterrestrial grew up in a small town in Oregon, where he says he never quite felt like he belonged.
He also regularly sports large black contact lens and outlandishly coloured hair, adding to his unusual look.
However, the surgery he wants next is his most extreme yet - getting his genitalia removed entirely so he is neither male nor female.
He said: "My goal in regards to my look is to become an exact, scientifically proportioned, sexless human being.
“People talk about ‘gender reassignment’ but i’m looking to have 'gender unassignment'. I’m looking to change my genitals so there is nothing there. There will just be a hole to pee out of.
“I want my genitals removed because life would be easier, plus I’m also celibate.”
