Gilles Simon asked Internet users a way to mute the comments during the match of Benoît Paire. Simon wanted to clarify a few moments later that he was not aiming for the quality of the comments of the commentators then on the air.
"No malice in my comment. I just thought it would be nice to be able to enjoy the sound of the field (bounces slides strikes etc) and choose if we wanted to have the comments between the points where to live the match in his own way," he said.
