Aryna Sabalenka acorta su rueda de prensa en Roland Garros en medio de una protesta

La número 1 del mundo, Aryna Sabalenka, limitó sus obligaciones ante los medios a 15 minutos en Roland Garros este viernes, como parte de una protesta coordinada de los tenistas por los premios en metálico. Dedicó cinco minutos a las cadenas de televisión y diez a la prensa escrita antes de finalizar la sesión. La bielorrusa señaló que la medida busca visibilizar las preocupaciones de los jugadores con menor ranking.

Sabalenka se dirigió a los periodistas en París después de que los jugadores acordaran limitar las sesiones de prensa a 15 minutos. Explicó que el límite simboliza la parte de los ingresos que los Grand Slams destinan a los competidores. "Solo queríamos dejar clara nuestra postura, estamos unidos y 15 minutos es mejor que cero", afirmó, añadiendo que la protesta estaba dirigida a los organizadores del torneo y no a los periodistas.
