PARIS (Reuters) – 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.
“It seems that the mayor’s entourage has become more hostile to our project — which was not the case when we launched it,” Ysern told reporters.
