Zverev receives a question from the supermarket – reporter complains about withdrawal of accreditation

Allegedly, the French tennis association FFT, the organizer of the French Open, withdrew the British man’s accreditation. Pinfield announced this to his followers on Twitter. “My supermarket appearance, which was meant as a joke, was perceived as unprofessional,” he wrote.

He apologized in emails to the organizer on both Monday and Tuesday.

Also at Zverev, everyone involved in Roland-Garros as well as colleagues and friends, Pinfield asked for forgiveness on Twitter.

A little later the journalist got in touch again and said: “After my email correspondence with the FFT (Fédération Française de Tennis) I received the message that I would get my press accreditation back for the tournament.”

He also thanked everyone who gave him encouraging and positive news. “The discussions about press conferences and the role of journalists are important,” Pinfield clarified.
