Mauresmo: "Concerning the scheduling, specifically for the night matches, my say was that because we have one match only, the ticket holders, I feel that it's really tougher to schedule a woman's match because we have to take into consideration the length, I feel. Mauresmo: "Again, I think the people who know me, who've known me on and off the court, throughout my career, throughout everything that I've done, know that I'm a big fighter for equal rights and women's tennis, women in general."

And I want to say sorry to the players that really felt bad about what I said," Mauresmo explained, per James Gray. "First of all the comments that I made were taken out of the wider picture, out of the context. After the match, both Swiatek and Pegula said it was disappointing to hear a former player make such comments about the women's game. On Wednesday, Swiatek defeated Jessica Pegula in the French Open quarterfinal. Mauresmo defends herself: My comments were taken out of context "In this era we are in right now - and as a woman, a former woman's player, I don't feel bad or unfair saying this - you have more attraction and appeal, in general, for the men's matches," Mauresmo said.When top-ranked Iga Swiatek was asked about the Mauresmo comments, she said she was disappointed and surprised. Mauresmo responded by seemingly suggesting the men's matches were more appealing. On Wednesday, the reporters wanted to know why just women's match was scheduled for the night session in the first 10 days of the tournament.
