French Open officials follow Wimbledon's lead and ban Ilie Nastase after his outrageous Fed Cud outburst

'Mr Nastase will not be accredited for Roland-Garros,' a tournament official said

Ilie Nastase has been barred from a second grand slam this year after French Open organisers followed their Wimbledon counterparts.

Nastase, Romania's Fed Cup captain, was provisionally suspended by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) after his behaviour during April's tie against Great Britain.

The former French and US Open champion made an apparently racist comment about Serena Williams' unborn baby.

He also repeatedly asked British captain Anne Keothavong for her room number during press conferences before the tie.

He then launched foul-mouth abuse at Keothavong, British number one Johanna Konta and tie referee Andreas Egli, causing Konta's match to be briefly suspended as she left the court in tears, and also confronted Press Association Sport tennis correspondent Eleanor Crooks on two occasions.

It was announced on Wednesday that Nastase would not receive his traditional invitation to Wimbledon's royal box.

And on Saturday, the 70-year-old learned he would also not be welcome at Roland Garros, scene of his 1973 triumph.

A statement on the official Roland Garros Twitter account read: "Following the decision of his suspension by the ITF-Tennis, Mr. Ilie Nastase won't be accredited for #RG17."
