“Amelie Moresmo confirmed the ban on alcohol in the stands”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
“This event continues this year. Alcohol can be consumed in the corridors of the complex. But as soon as you go to the court – everything is on this point, ”Moresmo said.
The former tennis player, the owner of the two titles of the Great Helme, also commented on the incidents that occurred during the 2024 tournament.
“On cases of undisciplined behavior last year, I would not have been guilty of alcohol. People are more emotional now, because after which they have the desire to express themselves differently, to live brighter, more relaxed – and this applies not only to sports events. A case with David Goffen (a Belgian tennis played gum) is a single incident that has gained excessive publicity in the media. ”
“Our guards are undergoing serious instruction,” said the tournament director. – If there is a violation, we display people without hesitation. Judges also have the authority to strengthen the rules and show increased vigilance. But it is great – to see people respond genuinely to tennis. We want the atmosphere to be emotional, but with respect. ”
When asked about evening sessions, which caused disputes due to the lack of women’s matches in the program last year, we have mood recognized that it was a “very difficult choice”.
“I really want to promote women’s tennis more, but in the evening it is not easy,” the former first racket of the world said with regret. – There is only one match in the night session. There is a risk that the meeting will last less than an hour – and it will be quite rigid. And the men’s match usually lasts from one and a half to two hours, because they play at least three networks. ”
