Kale World No. 1, Supervisor at French Open Says Women’s Tennis Has No Little ‘Attraction’
PARIS (AP) – Amelie Mauresmo, formerly No. One athlete, who is in her first year as a female wrestler in the French Open, said Wednesday that nine out of 10 nights at Roland Garros also affected men’s sports because women’s tennis currently does not have a few “attractions”.
Speaking at a press conference for the second week to cover the Grand Slam court race, Mauresmo said she was trying every day to find a group of women who had star-studded power or the need to re-examine another category that had begun. 8:45 pm in Court Philippe Chatrier.
“I must admit it was difficult,” says Mauresmo, 42, in France.
No. The 1st mother, Iga Swiatek, said after winning a quarterback in Paris on Wednesday that she had found what Mauresmo called “disappointing and strange.”
“It’s everyone’s opinion whether they like men’s tennis or women’s tennis or if they love them equally, but I think women’s tennis has a lot of advantages,” said Swiatek, a 2020 French Open champion winner. 33 matches in a row. “And some say that it is ‘normal’ and that girls do not always change. But on the other hand, it can also be exciting and appealing to many. ”
Ms Swiatek hit Wednesday, 11-year-old Jessica Pegula saw how Mauresmo “is not something you want to hear,” and said the best way to stimulate interest in every sport is to “have a chance” to show how good the business is. .
“Of course, it’s always a little frustrating to hear that it’s her mentality, to be a woman … Slam hero,” said Pegula, a New Yorker whose parents own the NFL’s Buffalo Bills and NHL’s Buffalo Sabers. “But we hope we can change that.”
She also provided protection for her fiancé, who is currently missing the strength of 23-time Grand Slam player Serena Williams, who has not competed since being injured at Wimbledon about a year ago.
“For me, I feel like a lot of people like to watch women’s tennis because we don’t have a lot of games. We are not acing. There aren’t many points too fast,” Pegula said. “There are so many meetings. There is another drama. “
The French Open this year started on May 22 and ends on Sunday. The final round of 10 p.m. was Wednesday in the third men’s quarter between Casper Ruud and Holger Rune, and the only women’s event that received long-term support – part of a contract and promotional assignment – was the victory over Alizé Cornet of France at Jelena Ostapenko’s match. second round.
When asked about how to make the choice, Mauresmo said in French that having one game at any time of the night makes it “very difficult to be” a match for women. Night parties at the US Open, for example, often feature female matches and men’s matches.

“In this day and age, I do not feel – and as a woman, a former female athlete, I do not feel sorry or unfair to say this, right now – you have more … requests,” Mauresmo said. he said. “That’s the reason (because) of the men’s game.”
He added: “My goal was, as I was making a daily routine, to try and see, from the first round, when the game came out … ‘What matches can I put there?’ honestly. ”
Mauresmo first came out on top in the WTA rankings in 2004 and returned there after winning the Australian Open with Wimbledon in 2006.
His last major competition was the 2009 US Open. After retiring as a footballer, Mauresmo moved to coaching and worked with Andy Murray, Lucas Pouille and Marion Bartoli, among others, and was the captain of France for the team that is now known as the Billie Jean King Cup.
The Mauremo press conference was held in the morning following the quarter-final victory of 13-year-old French Open defender Rafael Nadal 6-2, 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 (4) in defending victory over Novak Djokovic at Tuesday night. The game lasted 4 hours, 12 minutes and ended after 1 p.m., leaving 15,000 or more spectators unable to use public transportation to get home.
“This is an important issue that needs to be addressed, which will be one of the most important issues in the future,” Mauresmo said. “We have not prepared anything here, but obviously we have to make ourselves different from the Paris Operations Department with buses, and underground systems. . “
Nadal, via TV, with his director, Carlos Costa, directly with Mauresmo, made it clear that the 21st Grand Slam title holder does not like to play at night, due to the way the cold temperatures affect his shooting. It dropped below 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15 Celsius) during its quarterfinal.
Asked about this, Mauresmo answered the question and replied: “Rafa has shown us how great a hero, beyond all these ideas.”
Mauresmo said a full review of the entire race will take place after the event, including a change of night shifts and other preparations.
