On Friday the French Tennis Federation chief Bernard Giudicelli spoke about the 2019 Rolex Paris Masters success. 151,000 people attended the event, which is 10,000 more compared to 2018. It was a very good event although Roger Federer announced a last minute withdrawal.
Without a doubt, having Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in the late stages of the tournament helped. Meanwhile Jeremy Chardy analyzed his loss to Christian Garin. The Frenchman said: "It's always hard. Already when you lose, you're sad, but with game points it's even harder.
I had three in a row, actually. It's the second time that I lose against him with game points. It's hard to end this season on that note. But I want to be positive. I'm disappointed that the season ends, because I was feeling that I was playing better these last weeks.
Everything is turning up regarding my game level. I would have liked to have a few more tournaments under my belt. I'm going to go on holiday now. I will try not to think about tennis for some time. And the fact that I ended this way, this gives me the will to fight hard and to start on a strong note for the next season.
I hope that next year will be a beautiful year. It will be a beautiful year because I will have a child. But as far as tennis is concerned, I have worked hard throughout the year. I feel better on court, and I think that you can see it by the way I play."
