French Open tournament director Mauresmo quizzed on lack of night sessions for women

PARIS (AP) — Scheduling more night sessions for women is proving a tough issue to resolve for French Open tournament director Amélie Mauresmo. She was asked at her tournament-ending news conference Sunday if she was comfortable with the equality in the scheduling at Roland Garros this year. She responded to say “I’m comfortable with the scheduling on the day, but yes, we can do better on the night matches.” Mauresmo was also asked about comments made by American Jessica Pegula, who lamented the lack of women’s matches in the night sessions in an online column. Mauresmo replied “I hear that she’s disappointed with that.”
