Des stars du tennis menacent de boycotter les tournois du Grand Chelem concernant les dotations

Des joueuses de premier plan, dont Aryna Sabalenka, ont fait part de leur frustration croissante à l'égard des tournois du Grand Chelem concernant les dotations financières et la gouvernance. Lors de l'Open d'Italie, Sabalenka a déclaré qu'un boycott pourrait survenir à un moment donné. Ces commentaires interviennent à un peu plus de deux semaines du début de Roland-Garros, dans un contexte de réajustements récents des prix que les joueurs ont largement rejetés.

Aryna Sabalenka, numéro un mondiale, a fait la déclaration publique la plus ferme à ce jour lors de l'Open d'Italie à Rome. Elle a affirmé que les joueurs envisageraient un boycott si les problèmes liés au partage des revenus et au bien-être persistaient. La tenante du titre de Roland-Garros, Coco Gauff, et la gagnante de l'Open d'Australie, Elena Rybakina, ont également exprimé leur déception face aux récents changements apportés à Roland-Garros.
