The aftermath of last weekend’s French Open continues to resonate. Iga Świątek has unexpectedly found herself at the center of the virtual commotion again, this time in rather bizarre circumstances. Patrick Mouratoglou, Naomi Osaka’s current coach, has offered unfavorable comments about women’s tennis. He casually mentioned the name of Poland’s best player. One of the sport’s former stars immediately came to her defense.
The crux of the unpleasant discussion was the timing of matches at Roland Garros. Since 2021, evening sessions have been held, typically reserved for men’s matches. Women’s matches usually play in daylight .
Some fans—and even the players themselves—believe this is a form of discrimination. A heated online row has erupted, fueled by, among others, Patrick Mouratoglou .
