Feliciano López was present yesterday at the Laureus gala and had the opportunity to give his opinion on the complaints from the Spanish public about the invitations that the tournament has granted to foreign names. It is always a controversial topic at each Mutua Madrid Open, and Feli, from his position as the tournament director, justified himself and presented his arguments as to why the tournament has invited names like Manas Dhamne or Moise Kouamé.
"Every news is blown out of proportion, and social media doesn't help at all: out of 100 comments, 99 are from people who have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. This tournament is about to celebrate 25 years, and out of those 25 years, Spanish tennis has probably benefited from it for 19 years. The tournament has changed owners, now IMG is still involved with other owners, and what we are trying to do is to help Spanish tennis, we have that commitment... but we are not the owners of the tournament; there are other companies with different interests, clients that they have to help, and that is what many do not know. We do not have the final say, but if we look at the overall picture, Spanish tennis cannot complain, even though in recent years they have not had the support they used to have when Ion Tiriac was in charge", stated Feliciano. Does his explanation convince you?
