Roland Garros Night Sessions Face Scrutiny Over Women’s Spotlight

TL;DR Summary
The French Open is facing renewed criticism for not expanding women’s night-session slots, with WTA chief Valerie Camillo pressing Amélie Mauresmo to boost the women’s visibility. Mauresmo argues that keeping a single-night match avoids late finishes and preserves ticket value, ruling out two-match night sessions for now. Top players like Osaka and Sabalenka could be in play for a late slot if it qualifies, but it’s unclear whether the tournament will alter its approach, as others including Ostapenko and Swiatek have called for change.
