Tunisia's Ons Jabeur slammed French Open organizers and broadcaster Amazon on May 27 for sidelining women's matches from the coveted night sessions, with none featured at the Grand Slam in almost two years.

PARIS -
The last women's singles match to be played under the lights of Court Philippe-Chatrier was a last-16 encounter between Aryna Sabalenka and Sloane Stephens on June 4, 2023.
The French Open has one evening match this year, starting not before 8.15pm local time (2.15am in Singapore) and in France is exclusively broadcast by Amazon's Prime service.
"In Europe, in general, it's unfortunate for women's sports in general. Not for tennis, but for women's sports in general," Jabeur said, after losing her first-round match 7-6 (7-4), 6-0 to Magdalena Frech at Roland Garros.
"I hope whoever is making the decision, I don't think they have daughters, because I don't think they want to treat their daughters like this.
