El exdirector de Roland Garros critica a Sabalenka por sus amenazas de boicot

Guy Forget, quien dirigió Roland Garros entre 2016 y 2021, ha descartado las amenazas de boicot a los Grand Slam por parte de tenistas de primer nivel, incluida Aryna Sabalenka. En declaraciones a Tennis Actu, el exdirector calificó la idea de extraña e innecesaria. Argumentó que los jugadores ya reciben una remuneración considerable y que sus asesores externos alimentan sus exigencias.

En declaraciones previas al debut de Sabalenka en el Abierto de Italia, Forget describió a los tenistas como seres inherentemente egoístas. "No hay nadie más egoísta que un tenista", afirmó. "Solo piensan en sí mismos, solo piensan en sus propios intereses". Añadió que los agentes y entrenadores fomentan mayores demandas económicas en lugar de buscar acciones colectivas en beneficio de los jugadores con menor ranking.
