Japan's Miyu Kato won the French Open mixed doubles title four days after what she called an "unjust" disqualification for hitting a ball girl with a ball in the women's event.

Kato and Germany's Tim Puetz beat Bianca Andreescu of Canada and New Zealand's Michael Venus 4-6 6-4 10-6.

On Sunday, Kato and Indonesia's Aldila Sutjiadi were disqualified from the women's doubles tournament.

"I hope this is redemption for you after what happened," Puetz said.
