Sabalenka Slams French Open Night Match Policy

News summary

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka has criticized the French Open's 2025 scheduling, pointing out that no women's singles matches have been scheduled for any of the tournament's high-profile night sessions. Sabalenka, supported by Iga Swiatek and Ons Jabeur, contends that women's matches deserve equal treatment and should be featured during prime-time to increase visibility and attendance. The scheduling controversy has reignited debates over gender equity at Roland Garros and in tennis more broadly. Tournament officials, including director Amélie Mauresmo, have come under scrutiny for not addressing the criticism or adjusting the schedule. Sabalenka's quarterfinal, played in front of a sparse crowd, has underscored the impact of current scheduling practices. The issue remains unresolved and continues to fuel discussions about sexism and fairness in Grand Slam tennis.
