Estrellas del tenis amenazan con un boicot por los premios en metálico de los Grand Slam

Jugadoras de alto nivel, incluida Aryna Sabalenka, han manifestado su creciente frustración con los torneos de Grand Slam en relación con los premios en metálico y la gobernanza. Durante el Abierto de Italia, Sabalenka afirmó que un boicot podría producirse en algún momento. Estos comentarios llegan apenas dos semanas antes del Abierto de Francia, en medio de recientes ajustes en los premios que las jugadoras han desestimado en gran medida.

Aryna Sabalenka, número uno del mundo, realizó las declaraciones públicas más contundentes hasta la fecha durante el Abierto de Italia en Roma. Aseguró que las jugadoras considerarían un boicot si persisten los problemas relacionados con el reparto de ingresos y el bienestar de los deportistas. La vigente campeona del Abierto de Francia, Coco Gauff, y la ganadora del Abierto de Australia, Elena Rybakina, también han expresado su decepción por los cambios recientes en Roland Garros.
