"It's a shame on the part of the federation and the broadcaster": Jabeur's outburst over the absence of women's matches in night sessions

It's a shame on the part of the federation and the broadcaster: Jabeur's outburst over the absence of women's matches in night sessions
le 28/05/2025 à 00h22

After three days of competition, three men's matches have been scheduled for night sessions at Roland-Garros.

The last time a women's match was scheduled for nighttime? It was in 2023, during the round of 16 between Aryna Sabalenka and Sloane Stephens. Since the introduction of evening matches, only four women's matches have been given this honor.

This situation has deeply frustrated Ons Jabeur, who was eliminated in the first round on Tuesday by Magdalena Frech: "It's a shame for women's sports in general, not just tennis. I don’t think those making these decisions have daughters—I don’t think they’d treat them like this.

It’s a bit paradoxical. They don’t showcase women’s sports, women’s tennis, and then they say, 'Yes, but fans mostly watch men.' Of course they watch more men because men are shown more—it’s all connected.

It’s a disgrace for the federation and the broadcaster to have signed such a contract. So many great female players deserve to be there. One of Monday’s matches was Naomi Osaka against Paula Badosa. An incredible match.

They should have played in the night session. Like last year with Osaka against Iga Swiatek. So many great matches should have been scheduled for night sessions."

Wednesday’s night session will feature the clash between Emilio Nava and Holger Rune. Initially, organizers had planned to schedule the match between Ben Shelton and Hugo Gaston, but the French player withdrew.

The women are no closer to the men in attendance, viewership, quality of play, and of course quantity (3 out of 5 vs 2 out of 3) than the WNBA is to the NBA.
They dont even use the same tennis balls!
This is what passes for modern, woke, feminist "equality"...

Yes and despite all this they get equal paycheck. But the injustices and discrimination done to them never stop. If everything is given to them on a platter and men simply shut shop - they will crib about no worthy men around. Whole universe should exist or stop existing to keep them happy and according to their feelings.

That is why a separate planet is needed for feminists (where they can live happily thereafter). Feminists think only their own opinion matters rest all are "simply disgusting".

Typical cribbing post a loss, except that in case of women it is about their gender and discrimination.

I propose the following changes to the rules:

1...a walķover will not be a loss. We have no control of player's health. If he or she is entered in a contest we expect them to play.

2...an incomplete match is not a loss. If a player forfeits we pick another match if there are more to choose.

3...this also applies if TT cancels a match. TT will not take hours to decide an outcome.

How about leavin...

It's a shame that so many matches are being canceled. TT ,you are destroying your game ,and thereby killing your app. I don't know how many matches others have had canceled , but I'm at 3 and it's only thursday.

As a long time player and lover of this game , I don't know how much of this I can tolerate. For example I waited hours last night for you to confirm my win and post my points. Every ot...

This week I have used all my formulas and best guesses to try to achieve the high score jimandlori958 set in our last competition. I am two games short because of cancelations and I need all wins to get there.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Grenier and Hsu at the Kobe tournament? The match was played to completion and on time.

Grenier def Ysu 6-2 , 6-2 at Kobe today and the TT canceled the match.

2nd for me this week.

An impressive win.. Congrats to our winner this week, jimandlori958 and with a score that could not be caught or matched. I don't remember a 56 in a while with our group. Nice to see everyone using the 2 point predictions. Can't win without 'em.
