Le stelle del tennis minacciano il boicottaggio per i montepremi dei tornei del Grande Slam

Giocatori di alto livello, tra cui Aryna Sabalenka, hanno manifestato una crescente frustrazione nei confronti dei tornei del Grande Slam riguardo ai montepremi e alla governance. Parlando agli Internazionali d'Italia, Sabalenka ha dichiarato che un boicottaggio potrebbe verificarsi a un certo punto. I commenti arrivano a poco più di due settimane dall'inizio del Roland Garros, nel contesto di recenti adeguamenti dei premi che i giocatori hanno in gran parte respinto.

Aryna Sabalenka, numero uno al mondo, ha rilasciato il commento pubblico più forte finora durante gli Internazionali d'Italia a Roma. Ha affermato che i giocatori prenderanno in considerazione un boicottaggio se le questioni relative alla ripartizione dei ricavi e al benessere continueranno a persistere. Anche la campionessa in carica del Roland Garros Coco Gauff e la vincitrice dell'Australian Open Elena Rybakina hanno espresso disappunto per i recenti cambiamenti al Roland Garros.
