Mauresmo Refuses to Comment on Sinner Scheduling Controversy After Shock Roland-Garros Exit
Days After Sinner's Surprise Loss, Mauresmo Responds to Scheduling Uproar but Declines to Discuss Specific Requests
The scheduling of Jannik Sinner at Roland-Garros continues to fuel discussions.
Eliminated in the second round by Juan Manuel Cerundolo in a match played in the early afternoon, the world No.1 found himself at the center of a controversy regarding his scheduling.
Several Italian media outlets had criticized the organizers for placing the Italian in the first session on Philippe-Chatrier court.
A controversy quickly nuanced by revelations from RMC Sport, according to which the choice had actually been validated by the player's entourage.
Mauresmo refuses to enter the debate
Questioned this Monday about this surprise elimination, Amélie Mauresmo refused to comment on the discussions surrounding the scheduling of the match:
"I will never comment on requests from broadcasters or players. Players can talk about their requests and what they want. They are free to do so.
We, as a tournament, will not talk about it, whether it concerns television or players. I am not able to give you an explanation for the choice to schedule this match at noon. It seemed like a good solution for everyone."
