French Open stars tweak match slots to catch the Champions League final
The French Open isn't the only sports event in Europe drawing attention from tennis players: The Champions League final will decide the continent's best soccer club, and one of the two teams involved Saturday night is Paris Saint-Germain, whose stadium is a couple of blocks from Roland-Garros. Count Novak Djokovic among those rooting for PSG against Italy's Inter Milan, and he hoped to be able to tune in on TV to watch the big clash that'll be held in Munich, Germany. So Djokovic made that preference known to the people in charge of arranging the program at the clay-court Grand Slam tournament he's won three times a common practice, especially among the sport's elite. They often ask to be scheduled at a certain time. Or to avoid a certain time. I will definitely watch it if I'm not playing (in the) night session. Yeah, that will be nice, Djokovic said with a big smile. FYI, Roland-Garros schedule. Hint, hint. Except his plea went unheeded: When Saturday's order of play was released Friday, 24-time major champion Djokovic's third-round match against Filip Misolic was the one picked for under the lights at Court Philippe-Chatrier due to begin at 8:15 p.m. local time, 45 minutes before Inter Milan vs. PSG starts. Others who begged off from competing at that hour got their wish. Although one, Arthur Fils, the 14th-seeded Frenchman who grew up near Paris and is a big PSG fan, wound up pulling out of the tournament because of a back injury after being placed in an afternoon match against No. 17 Andrey Rublev. We have many requests from players every day, tournament director Amlie Mauresmo said. There's no fixed rule. We try to accommodate everyone as much as possible. That includes requests from players, broadcasters and spectators. ... It's a real puzzle, I won't lie. Coco Gauff said she doesn't often ask for a certain time slot, but when she does, it's usually related to competing in singles and doubles on the same day (the American won the French Open doubles title last year but isn't playing doubles this time). The 2023 U.S. Open champion, who is currently No. 2 in singles, has noticed that events tend to listen more to elite players than others. If you're ranked a little bit higher, they'll hear more of your input, for sure, Gauff said. To be honest, I think it's rightfully deserved. I feel like if you do well on tour, win so many tournaments, you should have a little bit more priority when it comes to that. Except even the very best of the best don't always have success with these sorts of things. Madison Keys, who was the U.S. Open runner-up in 2017 and won the Australian Open in January, knows what it's like to be ignored. Sometimes the request goes (in), they write it down, and they say, OK,' but then don't do anything about it, Keys said. I really think that it's just kind of up to what the tournament wants, what TV wants, things like that, she added. Sometimes you kind of get what you ask for. And other times, you get the complete opposite. Just ask Djokovic. Whatever they schedule me, I have to accept, he said earlier this season. I think I earned my right to ... (communicate) with the tournament management, where I can express what I would like, depending on a given day, depending on the opponent.

PSG's Ousmane Dembélé: ‘Maybe with Kylian Mbappé we would have been even better.'
It has become the narrative of the season: Paris Saint-Germain, without Kylian Mbappé (26) are a better team. Last season, PSG won the title at a canter, as they did this season, however, without the France captain, the club have reached the UEFA Champions League final. Towards the end of last season, when it became evident that Mbappé would leave PSG to join Real Madrid on a free transfer, Luis Enrique prophesied that Les Parisiens would be even better without him this season. It was a comment that, at the time, raised eyebrows, however, the Spaniard's quote has certainly aged well. Advertisement With PSG showing significant improvement this year, Mbappé's departure has been identified as a turning point and one that has set the club on the path towards the Champions League final, where they will face Inter Milan on Saturday night. However, speaking at the pre-match press conference, Ousmane Dembélé (28) contested the link drawn. 'Is the game easier without Mbappé? No, maybe with him we would have been even better this season. Mbappé had a dream in his career, to play at Real Madrid… and PSG continued on its path. There is a before and an after Kylian,' admitted the Frenchman. Following the conclusion of the UCL final, the pair will link up on international duty with Les Bleus. GFFN | Luke Entwistle
