PARIS (AP) - The building of a new stadium for the French Open has been blocked because of political issues, but the French Tennis Federation said Wednesday that it was confident it will go ahead as planned.
Gilbert Ysern, the general director of the French Tennis Federation, said the Paris mayor's office "was unsure of the project's outcome," and time was running out to launch the construction work.
"We have been told that it's now a complicated matter," Ysern said. "City hall is facing strong opposition. But we will keep working very seriously on the project and this is of course our favorite option. We are a strong federation, and we will succeed."
