"We deserve to be here" - Ons Jabeur on women's matches not getting prime time slots
Ons Jabeur has slammed the French Open organizers for poor scheduling and women's matches not getting the prime time slots in her post-match press conference.
The World No.9 lost to Coco Gauff in the quarterfinals of the 2024 French Open. After losing the first set 4-6, the American made a stunning comeback to defeat the Tunisian 4-6, 6-2, 6-3.
Jabeur was asked to give her thoughts on the tournament's scheduling, and she replied by pointing out that women's matches were not played on prime time slots.
“I have a lot to say on that topic. 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 a.m. is really such a chore. We deserve to be here," the 29-year-old said.
Following the French Open, Jabeur is next scheduled to compete at the Nottingham Open, where she is the top seed.
