After defeating Magdalena Frech (27 years, 26 WTA) from the first round at Roland Garros, score 6-7 (4), 0-6, ONS Jabeur (30 years, 36 WTA) criticized the French Tennis Federation and Amazon Prime Video.

Ons Jabeur debuted on Tuesday, May 27, at this year's edition of Roland Garros and, after a very balanced first set against Magdalena Frech, followed one in which Polish clearly dominated. The 27-year-old player imposed 7-6 (4), 6-0 and qualified in the second roundwhere he will meet Czech Marketa Vondrousova (25 years, 96 WTA).

Finally! Legendary Magnus Carlsen was for the first time with Gukesh Dommaraju, the world champion.

Ons Jabeur: “I do not know what fans refer to. I would look at that match”

At the press conference, Jabeur approached a topic debated in the first days of the second Grand Slam tournament in 2025. Specifically, the Tunisia athlete spoke about the programming of the parties from Roland Garros and the fact that the matches in the female competition are played in the first part of the day on the big fields, and the ones in the day.

“It's a little ironic. It does not show female sport, it does not show female tennis and then say, “Yes, but fans look at most of men.” Obviously I look at the male sport more because we show it more. Everything is tied“Said Jabeur, quoted by We Love Tennis.

“It is a shame from the federation, it is a shame from Prime Video that it has signed such a contract. Many excellent players deserve to be there. One of the Monday matches was that of Naomi Osaka and Paula Badosa. An incredible duel should have been in the evening session.

Like last year when Iga Swiak and Naomi Osaka had to be there. I don't know what fans refer to. I know I'm a fan and I would look at that match“She added.

On Wednesday, May 28, 3 of the last 6 matches on the main land will be from the female circuit. Here are their order:
