In the French Open, 2 out of 2 out of 2 in charge of Ameli Morsmo is involved with women

Paris – For the fourth French Open, the director of the tournament, Ameli Mursho, was asked about the lack of women’s match during the tournament’s night session – there was one in 2022, one in 2023, zero in 2024 and Zero in 2025.

And for the fourth French Open, Mursho dismissed the matter when he was pressured to hold women’s matches at Philip-Chatra’s afternoon slot at a press conference, when the presence was rare: “Funny is the same question, the same question year after year.”

In other Grand Slam tennis tournaments that sell separate tickets for night sessions, the US Open and the Australian Open, the main stadiums features two single matches for that part of the daily schedule, a woman and a man involved. There is an 11P cut off for the Wimbledon competition and it does not sell tickets for a night session.

Rolend-Garros added night sessions that began three years ago and there is an agreement with a streaming service for visitors from the French Federation that calls for a daily match in European Primetime for the first 1/2 weeks of the event.

Only two of the 36 competitions on that stretch night were women’s matches.

Former player Murmo, who was at number first and won two Grand Slam titles, took over as the director of the tournament before the 2022 tournament. He repeatedly gave the same explanation for why the night match is almost always men’s matches, they include that their five best-set formats are likely to give more time to the court for ticket-buyers than the best-three setup for women.

In recent years, some female players have argued that this is a mistake and has been damaged in their sports growth, though Mursho said no current or former athlete has complained to him or offers them thinking about it.

Three-time Grand Slam Runner-Up, ONS Jabur was asked about the matter this week and the current setup was called “shameful”.

“It’s still sad that we are still watching it.” “In Europe, in general, it is unfortunate for women’s sports. … not for tennis, in general … … the one who is deciding that I don’t think I think they want to treat their girls like this.”

“It’s a bit irony,” added Jabur. “They don’t show women’s games, they don’t show tennis of women, and then they (say), ‘in most cases (fan) men see.’ Of course they see men more, because you show men more ””

The three -time defending champion of Paris Iga Sotech said it didn’t bother him.

“Every year, we talk about it. My position has not changed: I like to play the days, so I am happy that I have done and can take me more long,” he said.

Murmo said that just one night match did not change, “So the message is not changing to me, and it has never ever been that girls are not worth playing at night.”

When a reporter first tried to return to the topic of women’s schedules in the night match and chatter, Murmo asked how much he was considering these issues, he replied: “Do you know? I want to change the matter.”
