Jabeur pide "más respeto" para las tenistas en los torneos en los que coinciden con los hombres

La tenista tunecina Ons Jabeur pidió “respeto” para las tenistas por parte de los torneos europeos donde coinciden hombres y mujeres, luego de su clasificación este lunes para los cuartos de final del Masters 1000 de Madrid.

“El tenis es un deporte que, como mujer, estoy orgullosa de jugarlo, pero siento que queda un largo camino por recorrer, especialmente aquí en Madrid y en Roma… En Europa en general”, declaró la N.9 del mundo tras vencer a la letona Jelena Ostapenko por 6-0 y 6-4.

“Siento que (los organizadores de los torneos) deberían respetar más a la mujer y a la manera cómo jugamos”, añadió la campeona en Madrid en 2022.

Según Jabeur, las jugadores no tienen las mismas facilidades de acceso a las canchas de entrenamiento que sus homólogos masculinos y las televisiones ofrecen más partidos masculinos que femeninos.

“La manera cómo se trata aquí a las mujeres y a los hombres es completamente diferente. Quizás mucha gente no lo vea desde fuera, pero yo tengo la necesidad de hablarlo”.

“Aquí en España, me gustaría ir al hotel, encender la televisión y ver un partido de tenis femenino. No he visto un solo partido femenino. Obviamente, entiendo que aquí hay muchos tenistas (masculinos) jugando, pero pido un solo partido. Y también están jugando muchas jugadoras y no salen en televisión”, denunció.

“Es muy frustrante para mí. ¿Cómo se pueden inspirar las niñas si no pueden ver ningún partido?, añadió.
