Bianca Andreescu agrees with Ons Jabeur that it is “crazy” that some people refuse to watch women’s tennis because they are in advance predicting that it will be “a boring” match.Jabeur, who made two Grand Slam finals last year, spoke with The Guardian earlier year, when she touched on the subject of a gender pay gap in tennis.At the time, Jabeur explained why women “make more sacrifices” than their male counterparts.
“It’s crazy because some people are like: ‘I don’t need to watch women’s tennis. It’s boring.’ But how would you know? Honestly, women make a lot more sacrifices than men. Unfortunately, if I want to have a baby tomorrow I cannot as I am on tour.
This is a huge sacrifice for women,” Jabeur told The Guardian in January.
