US EditionAryna Sabalenka Criticizes Sexist Scheduling of French Open Women's Matches
- Aryna Sabalenka, the leading player in women’s tennis, secured a victory in her first quarterfinal match against China’s Zheng Qinwen on Tuesday morning, with the contest taking place on the main stadium court at the French Open.
- Sabalenka played early in the day as no women’s matches have been scheduled for evening sessions at Roland-Garros this year, despite night sessions being introduced in 2021.
- At the beginning of the match, many seats in the stadium, which holds 15,000 spectators, remained empty—a typical scene during early sessions since numerous ticket holders tend to arrive later or choose to have lunch first.
- Sabalenka expressed dissatisfaction with the match timing, suggesting that scheduling their game later in the day would allow a larger audience to tune in, and emphasized that female players deserve equal opportunities.
- Her remarks highlight ongoing challenges in securing more night matches for women at French Open and suggest a need for better timing to increase attendance and visibility.
