French Open postponed by a week, Alize Cornet says it’s a selfish decision

This time last year, we projected that in 2021 we would be back to normal. Unfortunately, tennis continues to suffer because of the COVID-19 pandemic and once again the French Open is changing dates. This time, however, the postponement will not be by a few months, the 2021 edition of the tournament has been delayed by a week. The reason is that the new dates will hopefully allow the Grand Slam in Paris to accept more spectators in the stands.

The new Roland Garros dates are from May 30 to June 13, with qualifying taking place the week before.
