Has there been any controversy at this year’s French Open?

Tennis star Coco Gauff, who recently advanced in the tournament, voiced criticism over only men’s singles matches being played first, while women’s singles matches are relegated to much later hours — night matches are known as the coveted time slot and are prime for the spotlight.

Speaking to the media about the issue, Coco didn’t hold back. "I don't think that a woman should play after the men at 8:15. I just think that's unfair," she said, per ESPN.

"If they are going to put one match at 8:15, for sure there could be an opportunity to put a woman there. If they're going to put two slots, and the first match is starting at 8:15, I don't think a women's match should be played after a men's match. I just don't think people should be going on at 11 [p.m.] or 12 [a.m.], to be honest."

"I feel like we produce some high-quality tennis, and we have some great stars on the women's side who fans, I'm sure, would love to see,” the tennis champion continued. "From my experience, playing at the U.S. Open, night match at 7 p.m., with Novak Djokovic following me — and he's the greatest player of all time — people were almost just as excited to see me play as [they were] him.

"Same with other places I play, like Australia. Night match, people were excited to see [me], too,” Coco said. “I definitely think there is opportunity to improve that in the future with this tournament."

You can watch all of the matches at the 2025 French Open live on cable networks TNT Sports and truTV, and the tournament will also be available to stream on Discovery+ and also on the HBO Max platform.
