French Open – tournament director Amélie Mauresmo counters criticism from double champion Ivan Dodig

There is “a guideline for access to official transport,” said two-time Grand Slam tournament winner Amélie Mauresmo, who now holds the position of tournament director in Roland-Garros. You can “claim” this chauffeur service if you live within a five-kilometer radius of the facility.

However, Dodig decided to book accommodation further away, although there were 19 hotels within a five-kilometer radius.

The 38-year-old, who won the French Open twice in doubles and twice in mixed, accused the organizer, the Fédération Française de Tennis (FFT), of not treating all professionals equally. “It’s sad,” Dodig said after winning the final.

Statements that Mauresmo did not want to leave as they are. “Suggestions were made to Dodig and he was told he could change his hotel.” They only have “a limited number of shuttles” and “also have an eye on the environmental aspect. He knew the rules long before he came here.”
