During his pre-tournament press conference, the director, Guy Forget, was questioned on several subjects and in particular on the arrival of the world number 1.
“Of course we are delighted to have Novak with us. I think his choice is also linked to the fact that he will go to the Masters, and to the Davis Cup. To perform there, he needs benchmarks, to re-adjust, to find the target. Moreover, concerning Novak, I find that the capital sympathy towards him is changing. This had happened especially in my time with Jimmy Connors but for the American it had come to the end of his career and he was not at the level of Nole. Novak is world number 1, he won three of the four Grand Slam tournaments, what he has achieved this year is amazing. “
