I competed in France several times, and the crowds and spectators were kind and supportive. I did not find any of the people rude. Want rude? Try China, Cuba, Peru, Venezuela and Mexico. Those were awful crowds.

The country may be physically beautiful, but the people are pampered, precious and rotten.

Omg Serena crying at the end is heartbreaking! I watched a video recently where Henin said she regretted the incident with the hand in the air and said she would have acted differently. I like the French crowd but sometimes they can be unnecessarily cruel. Imagine being the player at the centre of all those thousands having your errors cheered.

The crowd being against me would fire me up, but then again, I'm not a professional tennis player...

Martina Hingis was just a 17 year old girl playing with this experienced champion, and the whole crowd was against her from the beginning. What a shame for the French to have such a low class behavior and nasty spectacle in the eyes of the world ! My UTMOST respects for Martina.

Martina Hingis was the Justin Bieber of women's tennis

I remember watching this match and I recall that Hingis was losing and she started playing like she'd given up and didn't care, there was no fight in her and the crowd turned on her because they wanted to see a match. But then she did this weird underhanded serve that was bizarre and that's when the crowd really lost it with her. It was cringe worthy, my impression was that she was losing and started acting like a petulant child and she blamed the crowd for affecting her game and so they gave her something to blame them for. Everyone needs to watch the whole match she showed poor sportsmanship towards Steffi Graff.

Best public in tennis tournaments. Very reactive. Sometimes rude, sometimes passionnate. Never vulgar. That's why professionnal players say Roland Garros is their preferred tournament.

I have to disaggree strongly. It was NOT the audience that was rude, it was Martina Hingis. And she brought on herself, that the audience was against her. You see - i loved to watch Martina Hingis play, but she had the wrong attitude. She often mocked other players - for example Amelie Mauresmo (a beloved lesbian french player), when Martina said that "she looked and played like a man." RUDE! And before this game she stated, that this game would show, that "the time of Steffi Graf is over:" RUDE AGAIN - and Steffi Graf was beloved by the french, too. So - Martina turned the audience against her - by choice. And when she constantly complained on THIS match about refery dicisions and even crossed the net to go to the oppenents tennis side - a thing, which is strinctly forbidden and which i have NEVER seen again, then and only then she was mocked by the audience. Well, and I think she kind of deserved it. And maybe - there is a story for the other players a well... And what IS really rude - are the racist comment here. SHAME ON YOU!

While I admit, that the crown were over reacting to Hingis', I have to put a few things into perspective. Firstly Hingis was a cocky and arrogant and very unsportmenslike in those days. Secondly, I think she underestimated the standinf Graf had at roland Garros and was, at that point, just and immature teenager and overwhelmed about the entire situation. Hingis was a great player and in later years a great person, but what happend to here on that day, she brought upon herself for the most part. Still, and a absolutley acknowledge that fact, the crowd should have been more empathetic towards here, recognizing that she was just a young girl that didn't know any better. As far as I recall Graf even mentions that in her acceptance speech later on!

The crowd should not have been against Martina ,she was only 18 at that stage , Graf had won many Grand Slams , they should have sided with Martina and encourage her on

@Ilya Kuryakinthanks for your reply, but again it goes back to age, she was only a kid , I never knew of these comments she made and if their true she had no right to say them but overall 18 yr olds are just out of childhood and that has to be remembered, I'm sure as an adult now she's embarrassed about all this but the crowd showed a behaviour that was unacceptable and damaging

@Ilya Kuryakin 2 wrongs don't make a right , I'm sure even the next day she looked at the video, that's plenty enough punishment for her and for many yrs to come , of course she made a fool out of herself and of course I don't condone that behaviour but as I repeat she was only a kid , if I was at that match and jeered her I'd have felt very foolish on my way home , and no I don't live under a rock , I just never heard about these comments, anyway have a good day and I must say that womens tennis is quite entertaining these days , this polish girl looks invincible for the next decade.

Yeah, I agree, the French crowd are generally deplorable for a nation that fancies itself as a paradigm of decorum and sophistication. Even Australians, who couldn't care less about such things, behave quite well and are respectful of players from other nations.

"a nation that fancies itself as a paradigm of decorum and sophistication." This is how you, from the english speaking world, imagine the french see themselves. Many stupid people in the comments reacts with their negative stereotypes on french people without questionning why the crowd was doing that. the truth is Hingis made homophobic statement after french player Amélie Mauresmo came out few months before this match. Hingis made also stupid statements about Steffi Graff. This explain the rudness of the crowd. I'm not embarassed, Hingis deserves this rudness.

so why did she never apology ? If she is honest and "a lovely person" she can easily recognize it's a youthful mistake and she was extremely hurting for Mauresmo. She can show some empathy now.

Therefore, criticizing homosexuality is at the same level as blaming people for their skin color. You can't have an opinion about it, it would be disgusting. Hate is not an opinion. Homophobia is hate, not a casual opinion. It is equivalent to racism or antisemitism in term of hate level.

The rudenss of the French crowd at Roland Garros - particularly the booing - is typical of French arrogance. They imagine themselves to be a sopisticated race, but they are deluding themselves.

Another year, another French Open coming up. I can't wait to see how the audience will piss me off this year!

Some of you saying that Hingis didn't deserve what she got from the crowd should know that when she started losing she started acting like a spoiled brat with that chicken shit underhand serve so the crowd had to check her on her funky attitude toward the game and so that her spoiled attitude would NOT be tolerated !!!

Yes, you would. If you were actually in that situation you definitely would!

From the footage, there's a reason for Martina to receive harsh response from the crowd. But for Serena? I dunno. The French Crowd stole Serena one French Open Title and gave the same to the European Fav ... Henin. THAT DESTROYED THE RESOLVE OF SERENA FOR ALMOST MORE THAN 3 YEARS..Thanks to the Aussies Serena had fully recovered.

Bull Lea During the American Revolutionary War (American War of Independence; 1775-1783), France recognized and allied herselfwith the United States in 1778, declared war on Great Britain, and sent men, money and items to help the new republic. French intervention made a decisive contribution to the United States victory in the war. Motivated by revenge for its losses in the Seven Years' War, France began secretly sending supplies in 1775. Spain and the Netherlands joined France, making it a global war in which the British had no major allies. France got its revenge, but materially it gained little and was left with 1,000 million livre in debts.The French goal was to weaken Britain, both to keep it from getting too powerful and to exact revenge for the defeat in theSeven Years' War. After the American capture of the British invasion army at Saratoga in 1777, and after the French navy had been built up, France was ready. In 1778 France recognized the United States of America as a sovereign nation, signed a military alliance, went to war with Britain, built coalitions with the Netherlands and Spain that kept Britain without a significant ally of its own, provided the Americans with grants, arms and loans, sent a combat army to serve under George Washington, and sent a navy that prevented the second British army from escaping from Yorktown in 1781. In all, the French spent about 1.3 billion livres (in modern currency, approximately thirteen billion U.S. dollars) to support the Americans directly, not including the money it spent fighting Britain on land and sea outside the U.S.[2]French aid proved vital in the victory of the Americans seeking independence from Britain. The U.S. gained much territory at the 1783 Treaty of Paris, but France made only limited gains, returning some of its wartime conquests. It did get its revenge and made a new ally and trading partner. However the high debt France accumulated was a major cause of the French Revolution in 1789. Now you go and read a fuckin Book Asshole!

Wow. Not even the New York crowd in the US Open is this bad. And the New Yorkers are known for being a tough audience. With all-do respect.

When they booed Jennifer Capriati, she smiled and shook her fist at them!
