PARIS – It wasn't the first day that tournament officials were hoping for at the French Open.
Yes, the favorites won, and no, none of that famous Parisian rain forced any delays, but two minor controversies involving two of the game's biggest stars cast a cloud of frustration over the tournament.
To start, Roger Federer expressed his unhappiness with the tournament after a fan ran onto Court Philippe Chatrier following his win and attempted to take a photo with the 17-time Grand Slam champion. The kid, putting his hand on Federer's shoulder, was not apprehended by guards until after having made physical contact with the star, who kept him at arm's length.
