Overview

• Coco Gauff and Ons Jabeur publicly argued this week that women’s singles deserve prime-time night sessions at Roland Garros.
• Since the night sessions began in 2022, just two of 34 evening matches have featured women and this year’s 8:15 p.m. slots have all been men’s matches.
• French Tennis Federation president Gilles Moretton has defended the current schedule by saying organizers select the “better match” for spectators.
• Gauff warned that if two night matches are scheduled, women should not be placed after men to avoid late finishes.
• Tournament director Amelie Mauresmo is set to outline the French Open’s scheduling rationale at a Friday press conference.
