Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

And I,

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

I think with such a big wingspan, I think that's been the dimension that sort of is needed to add.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

And he finally got it done.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

It was an unusual French Open, both the men and the women.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

We'll touch on the women shortly.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

But really hot weather at the start of the event.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

And then even through the back end, there was lots of wind and there were difficult conditions.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

And we didn't see Sinner and Alcaraz at the end.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

Is it good, though, for tennis that Zverev has got that title to sort of break it up a little bit?

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

I think that, well, he's certainly been knocking on the door, and I think it's been probably the narrative up until Alcaraz getting injured, which has been a massive blow.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

It was really, we were talking about the top two and then the rest.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

I mean, you're putting Novak always in the conversation, but he's been playing sort of a limited schedule.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

But it has been very much Alcaraz-Sinner, Alcaraz-Sinner.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

So...

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

It does probably broaden it.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

And we're going into Wimbledon now with Noah Alcaraz and Sinner, you know, a defending champ.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

But I think it just adds that story.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

But it's also, you know, I think a lot of people, there's been a lot of critics of Zerev as well.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

And I think this will sort of now cement him like he's a true Grand Slam champion.

Whateley
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (08.06.26)

I mean, he's already an Olympic gold medalist and he's done a heck of a lot.
