Aryna Sabalenka walked out of her post-match press conference at Roland Garros today, leaving reporters stunned. The world number two snapped after a question about player treatment, muttering “I’m done” before vanishing. Her exit came amid a brewing revolt: players are protesting cramped locker rooms, chaotic scheduling, and what they call “disrespect” from tournament officials.
British stars are leading the charge. Emma Raducanu, a former champion, posted a statement on X accusing the French Tennis Federation of “treating us like cattle.” Dan Evans, known for his bluntness, told a reporter “they don’t care about us, just the money.
” Sources confirm that at least 30 players have signed a letter demanding reforms. The FFT has not commented. Sabalenka’s camp says she felt “ambushed” by the media, but insiders claim it’s a calculated move to join the protest.
The walkout is already being called a watershed moment. Will the suits listen? Unlikely.
But for now, the players are taking control.
