Belgian tennis player David Goffin criticized the behavior of French Open fans, labeling it as "hooligan" behavior after being spat at during his match against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. Goffin expressed concern over the disrespectful atmosphere and compared it to football hooliganism, stating that such behavior only happens in France and not at other Grand Slam tournaments like Wimbledon or the US Open. The French Open organizers emphasized the need for fans to show respect to all players, despite their enthusiasm. Goffin is set to face Alexander Zverev in the second round.
