Djokovic on FO postponement 'Hard to say what's right or wrong' while Medvedev calls it 'ridiculous'
ATP
The Roland Garros postponement has been somewhat of a thing of controversy and the two best-ranked players had a very different reaction to it.
The Roland Garros has been officially postponed by a week after speculations that it would. For a brief moment, there were talks about postponement till August but that did not happen. Asked about the postponement Medvedev said:
“I’m a bit surprised, because if we talk about rules, about the French Open, not the French Open itself, but the country and the government, what does it change if we do it a week later? We’re talking about COVID here. I’m not sure it will change anything.
The Russian player who is usually soft-spoken but also unafraid to voice his opinion concluded with:
“I must say it’s a bit ridiculous. But not on the part of the French Federation or the government, it’s just the general situation."

World number one Novak Djokovic was a bit more reserved in his opinion and more accepting of the shift. When asked about it he gave a long and thoughtful answer:
“As I understood, one of the main reasons is because there might be a loosening of the restrictions so that the crowd allowance percentage will grow. Hopefully, that will happen. It’s tough to say what is right, what is wrong. From Grand Slam, from their perspective, it was obviously the right call because they’re thinking about themselves."
Djokovic further continued:
“Then the ATP Tour, their tournaments are going to suffer because of that. It’s hard to say what is right, what is wrong.”
What do you think, do you agree with Medvedev or Djokovic. Let us know below.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
