Roger Federer, Serena Williams have earned privileges on Tour – Evert

believes that legends like and have earned the right to play on the main stadiums. In a press conference, Evert commented on Julien Benneteaus quotes on Roger Federer often playing at night.

I believe its a balance, a sensitive balance. The tournament directors have to be expense active to the lower ranked players because the higher ranked players at times get precedence. He always look at Serena and Roger, I say, Look, they can play five tournaments a year, they can play any time they want.

They can dictate when they want to play. Theyve been on the tour for 20 years. Theyve been ranked No. 1. Theyve been such great spokespeople for the game of tennis, great ambassadors. Is there a little bit of favoritism towards them? Yes.

But theyve earned it. Its all about earning it. Its all about its entertainment. This isnt all about tennis matches, its also about entertainment. At the same time, the tournament directors do have to be sensitive, especially when its a major tournament, to make sure everybody has the best schedule that they can have.
