The courts at Roland Garros were not up to their usual standard this year, tournament director Gilbert Ysern admitted, but that will be fixed in the future.

In an interview with L'Equipe, Ysern said the players had not been happy with the clay. Players remarked in press on slower conditions and lower bounce towards the beginning of the tournament, especially on Court Phillipe Chatrier.

"For the first time in a long time, there were complaints about the preparation of the courts," he said. "And rightly so. I must say, this year, the terre battue of Roland Garros was not the best in the world. ... It should not happen again."

Ysern also expressed concerns about the large metal panel that fell onto spectators during the men's quarterfinal, and about a fan running on court to get a photograph with Roger Federer after the first round. "Not everything was perfect," he said, indicating that the structural issues with the stadium had been taken very seriously.

On the security breach, he added, "It reminds us that for an event the magnitude of Roland Garros, we must, each day, attend to the details."

In addition to the organizational challenges, players also complained several times about umpiring during what was a fractious and contentious tournament.
