Aryna Sabalenka abrège sa conférence de presse à Roland-Garros en signe de protestation

La numéro 1 mondiale Aryna Sabalenka a limité ses obligations médiatiques à 15 minutes vendredi à Roland-Garros dans le cadre d'une action coordonnée des joueurs pour protester contre la répartition des prix. Elle a accordé cinq minutes aux diffuseurs et dix minutes à la presse écrite avant de mettre fin à la séance. La joueuse biélorusse a déclaré que cette action visait à souligner les préoccupations concernant les joueurs les moins bien classés.

Sabalenka s'est adressée aux journalistes à Paris après que les joueurs ont convenu de limiter les conférences de presse à 15 minutes. Elle a expliqué que cette limite symbolise la part des revenus que les tournois du Grand Chelem allouent aux compétiteurs. « Nous voulions simplement faire passer notre message, nous sommes unis, et 15 minutes valent mieux que zéro », a-t-elle déclaré, ajoutant que la protestation visait les responsables des tournois plutôt que les journalistes.
