Women's Matches Less Appealing At French Open, Says Tournament Director Amelie Mauresmo
French Open tournament director Amelie Mauresmo said on Wednesday that women's matches had less appeal than men's at Roland Garros, an opinion dismissed as "surprising and disappointing" by world number one Iga Swiatek. Of the 10 night sessions at this year's tournament, only one has featured a women's tie when home player Alize Cornet faced Jelena Ostapenko in the second round. "In this era that we are in right now, and as a woman, a former woman's player, I don't feel bad or unfair saying you have more attraction, more attractivity -- can you say that? Appeal? -- for the men's matches," said Mauresmo, a former world number one and a two-time Grand Slam champion.
