“I went on the road on January 9, when the candidacy was announced.
I have met over 2000 clubs since January 9th.
I have driven 35,000 km.
The goal was to go see all the clubs in France.
It is up to you to choose the fate of the FFT to bring a new governance.
For a new vision ”.
The president of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes League has once again displayed the strong axes of his program "Together for another tennis", by focusing his candidacy on three essential directions: "To federate again the tennis family today divided , enhance the image of our sport, attract new licensees ”.
He did not spare, either, his opponent while the last right of the campaign is looming (elections on December 12): "We want to renew dialogues with the clubs.
The current governance is failing on the human level, on the objective level and the third failure is a management failure.
I saw an absence of ethics.
The president announced in 2017 that there would be 1.5 million licensees in 2020, we have 923,000 licensees.
Our president did not federate or gather at the level of elected officials of which I am a part. ”
“We have six Major Leagues that are with us. There are committees that rock. The Paris Committee is now on my side. ”
Gilles Moretton
One of his main supporters, Arnaud Clément, former finalist of the 2001 Australian Open, outbid: “A lot of things were going well in France.
They wanted to copy us.
Today, in France, we would like to do like the Czech model.
But that's not our culture!
We are a rich Federation.
Today we put resources on quite a few players.
The money should be better distributed. ”
Moretton displays his confidence, while remaining cautious: “We have six Major Leagues who are with us.
There are committees that rock.
The Paris Committee is now on my side.
There are other departments that have changed.
I can feel people gathering around me.
They come spontaneously because they want to help this sport on a voluntary basis.
We represent 65% of licensees.
Afterwards, the elections are complex and the voting system complicated, so you have to play the game to the end and encourage people to vote. ”
“There will be no debate
(with Giudicelli).
My opponent didn't respect me three years ago. ”
Gilles Moretton
“We are ahead today, continues Arnaud Clément.
I prefer to lead a set a break than to lead a set a break. "
One certainty: “There will be no debate (with Giudicelli), says Moretton.
My opponent didn't respect me three years ago.
I was hit closely with slander at a time when I was just a former player who volunteered his time.
I don't shake his hand.
The debate is in the clubs with the clubs. "

While Roland-Garros is looming, with an even reduced gauge, the former 65th in the world declares: “I am delighted that we are able to play Roland-Garros in this gloomy context.
There won't be the usual vibrations.
It's a bit sad.
I hope we will have emotions on the pitch.
In any case, the campaign will continue.
I'll be at Roland Garros for a bit.
I have the right to go there for four days.
The rest of the time, I'll be on the pitch in the clubs. ”
Now with the favorite costume?
