Organizers with the French Open, one of the four Grand Slam tournaments in professional tennis, banned alcohol sales for fans following a week of rowdy behavior in the stands. “Alcohol was until now authorized in the stands. Now it’s over,” said Tournament Director Amelie Mauresmo. “The umpires are really going to be even more strict to further respect to the players and respect the game,' according to to CNBC.
1 women's player Iga Swiatek asked fans to hush up during points in her hard-fought win against Naomi Osaka. Mauresmo said the move to bar spectators from drinking while watching the tournament was about respecting the players and the game, CNBC reported. “This is something that we’re not going to tolerate, to overstep these two things. That’s for sure. So umpires have quite an important role in this matter,' she said.
