In Paris, players are only encouraged to take personal responsibility and respect social distance guides but there are no strict rules on where they can venture or eat.
“It’s impossible to put a bubble around a tennis player,” Montalwan said in an interview with L’Kyap.
That was certainly true of French tennis players traveling to tournaments in New York.
French piano Benoit Pere is known for both his simple groundstrokes and active social life. U.S. Perein, currently ranked 25th in the men’s singles, hosted a card game in his room with at least six other players, many of whom are from France.
Peren was banned from playing at the US Open, and although no one tested positive, other players close to him had to follow stricter segregation rules – even though they were abolished – and health officials eventually ordered Kristina Mladenovich to participate. Forbade. Doubles tournament.
The pair saga has continued since the US Open.
After being separated for 14 days in New York, Pere traveled to Rome, where he tested negative but lost in the first round of the Italian Open. He then went to Hamburg, Germany to play in the Hamburg European Open. He tested positive but medical officials allowed him to play because they determined that no asymptomatic person was likely to be infected after 14 days.
On Wednesday, he defaulted in the second set of his first-round match against Casper Rudd. In a television interview after the match, Pere said, “I can’t take it anymore, I’m breaking up.”
In Paris, a positive test result would have resulted in Pere’s immediate elimination. Players who test positive in the Paris race are asked to separate for seven days compared to the mandatory 14-day separation in New York.
