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

Romania's Fed Cup captain is currently under investigation for comments he made about Serena Williams' unborn child. Williams accused Nastase of racism after he was heard asking if the child would be "chocolate with milk".

He also insulted British player Johanna Konta and captain Anne Keothavong.

Nastase was told on Wednesday he would not be welcome at Wimbledon.

The 70-year-old former world number one won the French Open in 1973.
