If you continue to say there will only be men's matches, you're sending a message," says Henman about the controversies over night sessions at Roland-Garros

The scheduling at Roland-Garros is sparking many debates this year, primarily regarding the choice to prioritize men's matches for the night sessions instead of some women's matches.
Ons Jabeur's comments resonated and prompted a response, leading Amélie Mauresmo, the tournament director, and Gilles Moretton, president of the FFT, to justify the situation.
As a consultant for TNT Sports during this fortnight, former player Tim Henman believes the event should change its night session programming:
"When the night session was introduced, the goal was to generate more revenue through TV rights and ticket sales. I understand that, and I accept that most events would do the same. But I don't think having just one match during the night session works.
If you do that, you're not offering an equal visibility platform for women. The way to fix this would be to play two matches. This is what's done in New York and Australia, but you can't start the night session at 8:20 PM, it should start earlier.
The French Tennis Federation is putting itself in a difficult position. If you continue to say there will only be men's matches in prime time, you're sending a message. If they want to correct this, they should have two matches and start earlier.
