Ons Jabeur (9th in the WTA ranking) said goodbye to Roland Garros in the quarterfinals, after falling at the hands of Coco Gauff (3rd) and before France retreated, left a criticism of the organization of the tournament.
The Tunisian, who came close to being the first African in the French Open semifinals since Amanda Coetzer in 1997, was upset by the appointment of the parties.
“I would have loved to play the quarterfinals at night, not at 11 in the morning. To me, it doesn’t make sense. “Perhaps this and the Australian Open are the only Grand Slams that are played in the quarterfinals at this time,” the finalist of the last two Wimbledons slipped.
“Ten night games without any women playing… I don’t expect any women to play in the night session, but playing a quarterfinal at 11:00 is a difficult task. We deserve to be here and playing in the afternoon is better. There will be more people watching us and the stadiums will be full,” added the Tunisian.
“All male and female gamers deserve better programming.. Even for journalists I don’t think it’s healthy to have these night games. We have to find a way out so that everyone is happy,” said the No. 9 in the world ranking.
All the action from Roland Garros can be followed exclusively on ESPN and STAR+.
