Rules to be changed at Roland Garros

By The Assam Tribune

PARIS, May 24: When you�ve got to go, you�ve got to go but at Roland Garros this year, tennis players desperate to dash to the toilet may have to grin and bear it following a rule change.

French Open chiefs have decided to limit toilet breaks during a match to one per player.

Previously, women players were allowed two toilet breaks in a three-set match while men could go three times in a five-setter.

However, the sight of a player dashing from a court in the heat of battle � often when a set has been lost � has left opponents and fans irritated, claiming that the move is merely a tactical manoeuvre. � AFP
