Summary
Tournament director Amélie Mauresmo says fans now are banned from having alcohol while attending matches. The ban follows concerns about the behavior of those watching the competition. “They should let us drink,” said Ana Malevukovic, a 37-year-old plastic surgeon.
Mauresmo said she thought spectators at sports events have pushed the boundaries since coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic. “The stakes are big and there is a lot of money here to win. So losing a few points may change a lot,” she said.
