Simon Jordan bezeichnet Boykott-Haltung von Sabalenka und Sinner als schwachsinnig

Medienpersönlichkeit Simon Jordan hat die Tennis-Stars Aryna Sabalenka und Jannik Sinner dafür kritisiert, dass sie aufgrund von Streitigkeiten um Preisgelder mit einem Boykott der Grand Slams drohen. Die Äußerungen fallen in eine Zeit anhaltender Spannungen zwischen Spielern und Turnierveranstaltern.

Simon Jordan beschrieb die Haltung der Spieler bei talkSPORT als eindimensional und bezeichnete sie als Schwachköpfe. Er argumentierte, dass die Athleten ohne die vier großen Turniere keine Plattform hätten, um auf höchstem Niveau anzutreten, und stellte die Angelegenheit als gegenseitiges Geschäft zwischen Veranstaltungen und Spielern dar.
