Every day, the morning of Europe 1 looks back on one of the sporting events that make the news.
This Monday, Virginie Phulpin is interested in the anger of some players following the postponement of a week of the Roland-Garros tournament because of the health crisis.
According to her, it would be good to refocus the debate and for them to stop looking at their own interests.
The Monte Carlo tennis tournament takes place this week, it is the real start of the clay court season. A season marked by the postponement of Roland Garros for a week. Many players did not like this decision, and they are making it known. For you, they should especially stop looking at the navel.
They may be having a competition.
And Benoît Paire is above the rest.
The image of the cemetery as we approach 100,000 dead from Covid in France, we could avoid.
That the absence of an audience weighs on the morale of the players, everyone understands.
But there, everything is good to immediately start in self-centered diatribes.
Like the postponement of Roland-Garros for a week.
Alizé Cornet speaks of a "selfish decision" by treating the Minister of Sports as a calamity, and Daniil Medvedev is ironic about this virus which will not disappear in seven days.
Take a herbal tea and think for two seconds.
Already, Roxana Maracineanu is not involved in this report, it is the French tennis federation which manages.
As for Daniil Medvedev, we do not know if it is the fact of having lost four times in the first round of Roland Garros in four participations that makes him chafouin, but no one said that the health crisis would be behind us. May 30.
The organizers are not stupid.
You know, you don't have to rebel against every decision, you can also say "I don't know", that's not disgusting.
It is true that the postponement of the tournament for a week poses scheduling problems.
Yes, it shortens the season on grass.
Only 15 days between Roland Garros and Wimbledon, it's difficult to manage.
Players who go far in Paris will have minimal preparation for London, that's true.
Already, Daniil Medvedev seems rather immune to this kind of inconvenience.
And then beyond this bad taste joke, stop staring at yourself!
You're not the only one with a messed up schedule.
The whole world has been adapting for a year now.
Open your eyes !
While the French tennis federation wants to win a week to give itself a small chance to have a little public in the stands, excuse us, but it is also important.
It doesn't guarantee anything, but we can at least try.
Benoît Paire should not contradict Virginie Phulpin.
If we can try to regain some life on May 30, it is anything but ridiculous and selfish.
In any case, much less than these permanent positions.
