France’s top tennis star Katie Boulter is urging the French Open to remove on-court sponsorship boards following Zeynep Sonmez’s serious injury at Roland Garros. The incident, which occurred after a race over a rain cover, has raised concerns about player comfort and safety. Sources confirm Sonmez’s injury was serious enough to prompt her to retract comments about the covers.

With courts now facing the challenge of tighter spaces and more line judges, the decision could reshape how sponsors are displayed. Boulter’s push highlights growing player concerns about comfort and visibility, emphasizing the need for thoughtful adjustments at the tournament’s heart.
