Ons Jabeur criticized the French Open scheduling Tuesday, citing both the discrepancy in men's and women's matches and the late finishes for night matches.
on Tuesday, with their match starting on Court Philippe-Chatrier at 11 a.m. The first slots usually start in front of a barely full stadium, slowly filling up with spectators as the match progresses, while it also means an early-morning start for both players.
"I have a lot to say on that topic," Jabeur said."As you said, 10 night matches without any women playing. I don't expect any women to play in the evening, but frankly, playing a quarterfinal at 11:00 a.m. is really such a chore. We deserve to be here . Playing in the afternoon is better. There is going to be more people watching us and the stadiums are crowded. Well, the VIP is, well, you know, as usual.
"And this, because he couldn't really recover well? I think for all players, men, women, we deserve better than that. We deserve a better scheduling. "But who knows? We have to find a way out so that everybody is happy: the players, the journalists, the full team. The ballkids are young and they're still on the courts when it's really late. I don't know if it's logical to have all that."
