Djokovic Highlights French Open Security Concerns Amid Paris PSG Riots

Novak Djokovic revealed that French Open security officials debated keeping players on-site after his match on Saturday night due to violent unrest in Paris following Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League victory. The chaos, which included a teenager's stabbing and hundreds of arrests, erupted as PSG celebrated their maiden European Cup triumph near the Arc de Triomphe, close to where players were staying. Security concerns arose because the players' hotel was in an area heavily affected by the celebrations and disturbances, prompting discussions about housing players at Roland Garros instead. Djokovic described the journey back to the hotel as an "adventure," noting they barely made it by 1 a.m. Despite the difficulties, he acknowledged the significance of PSG's historic win for Paris. The unrest also continued with clashes during PSG's victory parade, drawing condemnation from French President Emmanuel Macron.
