After the French Open banned alcohol with strict new rule designed to combat rowdy fans, British tennis star Liam Broady has backed the decision and explained his own experiences.
The Spanish icon, who has won two Grand Slams at SW19, will instead take some time out to prepare for the Paris games, what he calls his 'last, the 22-time Grand Slam winner said: "During my post match press conference at Roland Garros I was asked about my summer calendar and since then I have been practising on clay."With this goal, we believe that the best for my body is not to change surface and keep playing on clay until then.
"I am saddened not to be able to live this year the great atmosphere of that amazing event that will always be in my heart, and be with all the British fans that always gave me great support. I will miss you all."A tournament that I played earlier in my career and where I had a great time both on and off the court. Looking forward to seeing you all there."
The 38-year-old has struggled massively with injuries over the past two years, losing his spot in the top ten in 2023 and having to take time out to rehabilitate. He returned to the ATP Tour this year, but little progress was made, pulling out of the Australian Open before it started and then crashing out of Roland Garros at the first round stage.
