Aryna Sabalenka accorcia la conferenza stampa del Roland Garros per protesta

La numero 1 al mondo Aryna Sabalenka ha limitato i suoi impegni con i media a 15 minuti al Roland Garros venerdì, nell'ambito di una protesta coordinata dei giocatori riguardante il montepremi. Ha dedicato cinque minuti alle emittenti televisive e dieci minuti alla stampa scritta prima di concludere la sessione. La tennista bielorussa ha dichiarato che l'iniziativa intende porre l'attenzione sulle preoccupazioni dei giocatori con un ranking inferiore.

Sabalenka si è rivolta ai giornalisti a Parigi dopo che i giocatori hanno concordato di limitare le sessioni media a 15 minuti. Ha spiegato che tale limite simboleggia la quota di ricavi che i tornei del Grande Slam destinano ai partecipanti. "Volevamo semplicemente esprimere la nostra posizione, siamo uniti e 15 minuti sono meglio di zero", ha affermato, aggiungendo che la protesta era rivolta agli organizzatori del torneo e non ai giornalisti.
