Roland-Garros: "Why not put a women's match and a men's match in the night session", wonders Ons Jabeur

Sunday evening, for the first time in the fortnight, a Sabelenka - Stephens women's match was scheduled as a night session. Asked after his victory against Danilovic Ons Jabeur who took the lead, alongside Novak Djokovic, of the Independent Players Association (PTPA), has a clear opinion on the question: "I don't know why they only program men's matches for the first eight days. Many matches are extraordinary. Girls are fighting, training and trying hard. I hope that the mentality will change and that a chance will be given to these women who fight every day. It was time to put a women's match in night session, I think. It's a little weird that there weren't both men's and women's matches. I do not know why. All other Grand Slams take two games. I played super late in Australia. I played super late at the US Open. It's not necessarily a good thing, but that's it, it's two games, that's what we did. Maybe start a night session a little before to be able to put on the two matches. I understand with men who play five sets, it can be difficult, but we have done it in the other Grand Slams. I hope the stadium will be full tomorrow, because there are two great players playing. It will be an extraordinary game. We must give them a chance and for all women's sport.
