Lois Boisson defused Harriet Dart’s diss with humor.
The Frenchwoman used her sense of humor—and photoshop—to answer Dart’s deodorant diss that saw the Briton bizarrely ask the chair umpire to tell Boisson to wear deodorant because she “smells really bad” during a changeover in Rouen yesterday.
Today, Boisson posted a photo shopped image of her set to serve while holding a bottle of Dove deodorant on Instagram Stories.
Boisson captured the image “Dove apparently needs a collab” along with a couple of laughing emojis.
Absorbing a 6-0, 6-3 thrashing from French wild card Boisson brought out the salty side in Dart.
Watch Dart diss her opponents body odor making this bizarre request.

“Can you tell her to wear some deodorant because the smell is really bad,” Dart asked the chair umpire during a changeover.
After her defeat, Dart issued an apology.
“It was a comment made in the heat of the moment and I truly regret it,” Dart said on social media. “It’s not the way I want to behave and I take full responsibility.
“I have a lot of respect for Lois and the way she competed today. I’ll learn from this and move on.”
