Agi: Da Sinner a Sabalenka, perché i big del tennis protestano al Roland Garros

AGI - Almeno 20 giocatori, tra cui i numero uno delle rispettive classifiche, Aryna Sabalenka e Jannik Sinner, hanno in programma di ridurre i loro impegni con i media domani al Roland-Garros in segno di protesta contro quella che considerano una distribuzione non equa dei ricavi dei grandi tornei di tennis. E' quanto si apprende da una fonte vicina ai giocatori.
Ad aderire alla protesta sarebbero almeno sette esponenti della top ten maschile e sette della top ten femminile: da oltre un anno chiedono di ricevere il 22% dei ricavi dei quattro tornei del Grande Slam, rispetto all'attuale 15%.
L'idea - secondo la stessa fonte - sarebbe quella di limitare le apparizioni sui media a soli 15 minuti. 
Le gare
Inizierà dalla wild card locale Clement Tabur l'avventura al Roland Garros di Jannik Sinner. Completato il Career Golden Masters agli Internazionali di Roma, il numero uno del mondo punta a vincere l'ultimo Slam che manca al suo palmares. Sulla terra rossa di Parigi, dove un anno fa arrivò fino alla finale, mancando tre match point prima di arrendersi a Carlos Alcaraz, il 24enne altoatesino è il grande favorito e vista l'assenza del campione in carica - che salterà anche la stagione sull'erba - nessuno sembra in grado di ostacolarlo.
Detto di Tabur, Sinner troverebbe poi al secondo turno uno fra Fearnley o Cerundolo, possibile derby agli ottavi con Luciano Darderi (che a sua volta esordirà contro Ofner), quindi un quarto con Ben Shelton ed eventuale semifinale con Felix Auger-Aliassime o Daniil Medvedev.
Nel quarto di Sinner ci sono anche Matteo Berrettini e Matteo Arnaldi, che inizieranno rispettivamente contro Marton Fucsovics e Tallon Griekspoor: il tennista romano in proiezione potrebbe affrontare Darderi al terzo turno, per il 25enne sanremese ipotetico secondo turno con Tsitsipas o Muller e terzo con Shelton. Flavio Cobolli, all'esordio con un qualificato, è nel secondo quarto di tabellone e negli ottavi potrebbe scontrarsi con Medvedev

From Sinner to Sabalenka, why the tennis big names are protesting at Roland Garros

ATP - At least 20 players, including the top-ranked players Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner, are planning to reduce their media commitments tomorrow at the Roland-Garros as a protest against what they consider an unfair distribution of revenues from the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments. This is what is learned from a source close to the players.

At least seven members of the top ten male players and seven members of the top ten female players would join the protest: they have been asking for 22% of the revenues from the four Grand Slam tournaments for over a year, compared to the current 15%.

The idea - according to the same source - would be to limit media appearances to just 15 minutes.

The Matches

Jannik Sinner’s adventure at Roland-Garros will begin with local wildcard Clement Tabur. Having completed the Career Golden Masters at the Italian Open, the world number one is aiming to win the last Slam missing from his trophy cabinet. On the clay courts of Paris, where he reached the final a year ago, missing three match points before yielding to Carlos Alcaraz, the 24-year-old from South Tyrol is the overwhelming favorite and, with the absence of the defending champion – who will also miss the grass season – no one seems able to hinder him.

After Tabur, Sinner would then find himself in the second round with either Fearnley or Cerundolo, a possible derby in the eighth round with Luciano Darderi (who himself will debut against Ofner), then a quarter-final with Ben Shelton and a possible semi-final with Felix Auger-Aliassime or Daniil Medvedev.

In Sinner’s quarter-final are also Matteo Berrettini and Matteo Arnaldi, who will respectively face Marton Fucsovics and Tallon Griekspoor: the Roman tennis player in projection could face Darderi in the third round, for the 25-year-old from San Remo hypothetical second round with Tsitsipas or Muller and third with Shelton. Flavio Cobolli, debuting with a qualifier, is in the second quarter of the table and in the eighth round could clash with Medvedev.
