When Isern announced the dismissal of relevant security team members, local French media quickly issued strong condemnation:
"There is no doubt that this is purely a lazy approach by the Isern team to use scapegoats to divert attention. They fired the relevant security team members without holding the managers accountable, and at the same time they did not make improvements to the security system. Such a headache-inducing approach
It’s a complete shirking of responsibility.”
And, even further, detonating landmines.
The Isern team has repeatedly made mistakes in recent years regarding official events, security work, schedule arrangements and other professional work, and is not enterprising. At the same time, it refuses to listen to opinions. When other top events are constantly innovating and progressing, French Open management
The team is resting on its laurels.
For example, all players' schedules must be compromised for the host players, even the Big Four are no exception.
"Although we all know that there is a difference between home and away games, it is shocking to blatantly put such differential treatment on the table."
The above words come from Djokovic. Although the world's No. 1 did not directly confront Isern, he still stated bluntly that he believed he was worthy of the treatment at the Philippe-Chatier Stadium and roundaboutly discussed the schedule.
Dissatisfaction with disputes over venue arrangements.
For example, the tournament organizing committee will do whatever it takes to increase box office attendance, and even threaten the health of the players. This time, there was a fire in the backyard of the French Open——
Tsonga bluntly expressed his dissatisfaction at the post-match press conference after losing to Gao Wen. He believed that it was already dark and the tennis could not be seen clearly at that time. They should interrupt the game and continue tomorrow, but obviously, in order to retain the
Spectators avoid refunding tickets, forcing players to continue.
Simon also complained after being stopped in the fourth round. He believed that as a French player, he was ignored. In the fourth round match against Murray, he did not even enter the Susan Lenglen Stadium, but was placed in No. 1.
Stadium, and finally ended his journey this year with a loss.
"I thought I deserved a Philippe Chartier or a Susan Lenglen, I deserved the respect, but they treated me like a piece of shit and just left me in the outfield. They
I don’t know what I’m doing at all. Is the French Tennis Federation really working?”
Being attacked from both sides, a fire broke out in the backyard, and attacks from French players made the whole incident more intense.
The dissatisfaction and anger that had been suppressed and repressed were finally vented out——
A little surprising, but not that surprising.
For a long time, there have been many problems within the French Tennis Association, with serious factional struggles, so that resources are seriously skewed. Many French players have complained and protested in public more than once. Those conflicts have long been on the table, but these long-suffering players
Stubborn illnesses are really difficult to improve.
At this time, taking advantage of the opportunity that Isern was being chased and intercepted, signs of factional struggle arose again, and it spread in the media in an instant.
Things have completely deviated from the track when it has developed to this point. Not to mention Gawain, I am afraid that even Federer could not have predicted it.
Later - to be precise, it should be later, the factional struggle continued. After all the French Open events came to an end, it entered into the main topic. It lasted for nearly half a year and finally ended with the failure of the Yisern faction. The French Tennis Association
The faction structure was reshuffled.
At the end of the year, Ethan announced his resignation as tournament director of the French Open and Paris Masters, and left the French Tennis Association, sadly retiring.
Who could have imagined that the whole incident would end like this?
Of course, the "fan incident" is not the main cause or the trigger. It is just an excuse and a small part of a series of chain events.
But it is undeniable that this incident played a role in fueling the situation. He unintentionally handed the knife to Isern's enemy, completing the fatal blow.
This is the energy of an opinion leader. Federer once again showed his strong influence on a global scale; at the same time, Gao Wen also showed his sharpness, breaking through the limitations of the court for the first time, and his voice was also heard outside the court.
Hearing is noticed and plays an unimaginable role.
Step by step, Gawain's position is rising steadily.
Look back to the present moment.
After Gao Wen's post-match press conference, everyone was discussing this young star——
He is a direct and tough Grand Slam tournament director. He is extremely courageous and shows a proud character both inside and outside his words. Moreover, he is not a casual vent of emotions. He is clearly organized, well-layered, clear in his views and firm in his stance, which is really eye-catching.
As soon as it lit up, it once again left a deep impression on the reporters.
However, admiration is admiration, praise is praise, and people can’t help but start to worry——
After all, Gawain is not a giant. What would happen if Ethan puts small shoes on Gawain behind his back? How will Gawain and his team react?
Although at this time, people do not yet know the subsequent development, nor do they know the dilemma faced by Yisern, but people can feel the tension surging in the air, and the swords and shadows of "Federer VS Yisern" fill the air.
In the audience, Gawain was the first to attract a large amount of attack power.
If the tournament organizing committee wants to embarrass the players, it doesn’t actually need to be much trouble. The neglect and constraints of some details can make the players miserable:
For example, it is inconvenient to reserve a driving range and set up an itinerary.
For example, the shuttle bus to the stadium, the dry cleaning of jerseys and equipment, the stringing of rackets, the schedule of massage therapy, etc. are prioritized later and the waiting time is lengthened.
For example, the game arrangement is just like Simon. Even if he plays against Murray, he still can't enter the Susan Lenglen Stadium.
These details will not directly affect the game. After all, the organizing committee is not crazy. They also look forward to exciting games. They also hope that top players will continue to advance. They also hope to avoid conflicts with players as much as possible; but often, these
Details may affect the experience.
To put it simply, it's annoying.
For professional players, they need to stay focused as much as possible. If there are too many trivial matters off the court, it may not only affect their mood, but also their state, and ultimately affect their performance in the game, especially the Grand Slam, which lasts for two weeks, which is equivalent to
In the marathon of tennis, stay focused and improve your condition throughout the whole process, and the importance of details becomes more and more prominent.
Therefore, it is unclear what impact these annoying details will have.
Maybe, some people will say, no? How could the event organizing committee ruin its own brand?
In fact, similar situations don't happen very often to top players. Even if they happen, these players' teams will deal with them as soon as possible. But when they happen to lower-ranked players, it's not uncommon. It can even be said that
This is their daily life competing in global competitions.
In other words, if the French Open Organizing Committee is really planning to make things difficult for Gao Wen, there are indeed countless ways to do it——
There is one right in front of you.
The venue arrangement for the quarterfinals, Philippe Chartier? Or Susan Lenglen? Or even... Court No. 1?
