French Open: Mauresmo’s Role in Scheduling Faces Scrutiny
Amelie Mauresmo’s role in determining the French Open schedule is drawing increased attention. Tournament organizers are facing questions regarding the scheduling of women’s matches and the desire to prevent matches from running late into the night. The scheduling decisions and Mauresmo’s role are under scrutiny.
Mauresmo has stated that women’s matches, which are best-of-three sets, have the potential to conclude more quickly then men’s best-of-five matches. This difference, she said, factors into scheduling choices. The French Open also seeks to avoid scheduling two matches in the night session, a practice seen at the Australian Open and U.S. open, to minimize the risk of very late finishes.
While not commenting directly on Mauresmo’s role, Archer suggested the issue is systemic. “I really don’t think about it in terms of an individual [making the choice],” Archer said. ”I think its broader than that, I think it’s more foundational and more systemic.”
Archer added that the issue extends beyond the French Open. “I think it is an issue at other tournaments, I don’t think it is an issue specific to the Grand Slams.”
Archer plans to discuss the scheduling concerns. “I think I’ll have an chance to do that,” Archer said.”Again, it’s not something that I assign to a specific individual, so we’ll be working to discuss with all the relevant parties how we can effect change in this area.”
what’s next
Discussions are planned with all relevant parties to explore potential changes to scheduling practices at the French Open and other tournaments.
