“There is no one more selfish than a tennis player”: former Roland-Garros head shrugs off the Grand Slam boycott threat

Former Roland-Garros tournament director Guy Forget, who ran the event from 2016 to 2021, dismissed the players' Grand Slam boycott threat as 'bizarre' in an interview with French website Tennis Actu. Forget questioned the sincerity of top players claiming to fight for lower-ranked athletes, arguing they are primarily motivated by self-interest. He bluntly stated that 'there is no one more selfish than a tennis player,' adding that everyone in a player's entourage — agents, coaches, and trainers — depends financially on them.
