Ilie Nastase has been banned from the French Open after his behaviour at the Fed Cup.

They join Wimbledon, who have announced they will refuse to invite him into their Royal Box on Centre Court.

Nastase, winner of the French Open in 1973, is currently at the centre of an International Tennis Federation (ITF) investigation following a series of controversial incidents during a Fed Cup tie with Great Britain last month.

Romania's captain has been provisionally suspended by the ITF over comments he made about Serena Williams' unborn baby, which the American described as racist, and for swearing at Britain's Anne Keothavong and Johanna Konta and match umpire Jaume Campistol.

The incidents took place at the Tenis Club IDU in Constanta.

Nastase also launched an angry outburst at British journalist Eleanor Crooks over the publication of his remarks about Williams' baby.

A post on host venue Roland-Garros' official Twitter account claimed that Nastase "won't be accredited" for the Grand Slam clay-court tournament in Paris, due to take place between May 28 and June 11, following the suspension imposed by the ITF.

During a pre-match press conference for the Fed Cup tie, Nastase was overheard saying "let's see what colour it has, chocolate with milk" about Williams' baby.

Williams, an African American, is expecting to give birth to her child later this year with her fiancé Alexis Ohanian, who is white.

At the same press conference, the 1972 US Open men's singles champion was heard asking a pregnant Keothavong, Britain's captain, for her hotel room number.

The following day, he was removed from the stadium during the second rubber between Konta and Sorana Cirstea after he swore at the world number seven and her captain along with Campistol, which led to the match being suspended for 25 minutes.

Following this, the ITF confirmed they had banned him from the match, although Nastase did reappear at the tennis club the next day.

This came after he had stormed into the media room at the venue and shouted at Crooks, the Press Association’s tennis correspondent, following stories being published about his comments on Williams' baby.

During the outburst, Nastase called Crooks "stupid" several times.

Nastase, the men's singles runner-up at Wimbledon in 1972 and 1976, did apologise on his Facebook page for the incidents.

In an interview with the BBC, he went on to defend his comments, however, saying Romanians would not have found what he said racist and criticising Konta for her role in the on-court incident.
