The comments of Ons Jabeur on the treatment reserved for WTA players in European tournaments, specifically mentioning Madrid and Rome did not please the director of the WTA 1000 tournament in Madrid, Feliciano Lopez who responded in an interview with Sky News Tennis station.
Lopez acknowledged errors had been made by organisers last year, but he thought Jabeur’s comments were “unfair”.
“Yeah, I’m definitely one of the people that I want to speak up. I really enjoy watching women’s tennis, enjoy watching women’s sports in general. I think we deserve better. It’s not like we are not doing any effort and we are asking for more what we deserve, for sure.”
“I think women’s tennis has come a long way. Very grateful for Billie Jean King and all the other women that fought hard, Serena [Williams], Maria [Sharapova], all of them. They’re trying to represent, you know, very well the sport. I think a lot of women players need to be aware of it and aware of what’s really happening,” she continued.
“A lot more to be done when it came to respecting female athletes in tennis and in other sports.”
