Rafael Nadal will not be protected with a higher seeding at the French Open, tournament director Gilbert Ysern said on Saturday.
The French Tennis Federation (FFT) is considering to move the French Open out from Roland Garros if its extension project does not get the green light within a year. The project was agreed on earlier this year and an architect was appointed but the Paris City Council is now getting cold feet, FFT director general Gilbert Ysern said on Tuesday.
The French Open crowds must be educated in order to avoid a repeat of the boos directed at Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka.
