Players React on Social Media to Roland Garros Rescheduling
Tennis - The decision to move the French Open Grand Slam tennis tournament to September has not gone down very well with the players as one would expect, with most players complaining of the lack of communication and discussion with the players as the main reason for their unhappiness with the schedule change.
Here are some of the reactions from players on their Twitter accounts.
F*ck it lets just play the last 3 slams back to back to back

Despite these being unprecedented times you would think it would promote more communication. You telling me there isn’t a more perfect time to get all players involved. Not like we are doing anything right now! https://t.co/NSCEViDZCW

Strong Move by French Open/FFT to move to end of Sept. I thought the powers that be in tennis were supposed to be all about working together these days? 🤔

René Stammbach, Member of the Board of Directors of the ITF and in Self-Quarantine at this time, says: «I didn't know that. We discussed scenarios two weeks ago. But moving the French Open wasn't one of them. I'm surprised and don't know whether this makes sense.» #RolandGarros https://t.co/yPj7VbCQ3y

Just spoke to a top ATP pro: "[French Open] asked for forgiveness, not permission. Because they knew they wouldn't get permission. But I'm not sure they'll get forgiveness either."

Dear, Roland Garros, while I’m happy the French tennis federation is taking precautionary steps to ensure the tournament will be held eventually, I’d appreciate a heads up to players before a twitter announcement. #alittlerespect https://t.co/NhQ4PGPnUa
