French Open: 2 of 36 Night Matches Have Involved Women with Amélie Mauresmo in Charge

  • Amélie Mauresmo has directed the French Open since night sessions began three years ago, with only two of 36 night matches involving women.
  • The limited women's night matches result from the men's best-of-five sets offering longer playtime, fulfilling a streaming contract for one primetime match daily.
  • Mauresmo repeatedly dismisses concerns, stating no players have complained and that the situation has not changed despite criticism from stars like Ons Jabeur.
  • Jabeur called the current scheduling 'a shame' and argued the format limits women's exposure, while Mauresmo said, "the message has never been that the girls are not worthy to play at night."
  • The ongoing debate highlights challenges in balancing broadcast demands, scheduling, and women's tennis growth amid sparse attendance in daytime slots and differing tournament practices.
