Vasek Pospisil, a member of the French Tennis Federation, called the decision 'selfish' and 'arrogant'
The French Tennis Federation announced Tuesday that the second grand slam tournament of the tennis season will now be held between September 20 and October 4, as opposed to its May 18 start date.
However, many players and tennis organizers have criticized the four-month delay, decided on by FTF president Bernard Giudicelli, and claimed that they were not consulted in the decision.“This is such a difficult time,” the Canadian athlete wrote. “Everyone is being impacted by this catastrophe. Enhancing communication & working together to find solutions should be the priority. Not going Rogue & making selfish/arrogant decisions to further impact the tour in a negative way.
