THE SCAN SPORT – The former player responded with humor to his compatriot, who, in front of his TV, had asked Internet users for a way to mute the comments during the Benoît Paire match.
Gilles Simon followed Benoît Paire’s epic match on Monday on the Suzanne-Lenglen court, lost by the Avignonnais after a five-set fight. During the meeting broadcast on France Télévisions, the Niçois who retired last year, had posted a message on social networks to ask if anyone knew a way to mute the comments to keep only the sounds on the court.
Simon made a point of specifying a few moments later that he was not aiming at the quality of the remarks of the commentators then on the air (which many Internet users thought at first). “No malice in my comment. I was just thinking that it would be nice to be able to enjoy the sound of the field (rebounds, slides, strikes, etc.) and to choose whether we wanted to have the comments between the points or live the match in our own way.“, had specified the former 6th player in the world.
His compatriot and former partner in the France team, Arnaud Clément, now a consultant at France Télévisions, still took the time to answer him in a teasing message: “Is there a manipulation that would allow you to connect in Gilles Simon’s living room to be able to benefit from his comments which would certainly be much more interesting.»
