Overview

• No women’s match was scheduled for the 2025 night session on Court Philippe-Chatrier, repeating the omission from 2024.
• Ons Jabeur, Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek publicly criticized the practice, warning it undercuts the visibility and value of women’s tennis.
• Tournament director Amelie Mauresmo defended the policy by pointing to shorter best-of-three formats, saying it was never meant to imply women are unworthy.
• The WTA has formally urged the French Open to adopt a more equitable schedule, citing balanced prime-time lineups at other Grand Slams.
• Top men’s player Jannik Sinner acknowledged the issue and suggested organizers might include multiple women’s matches in future night sessions.
