- Ons Jabeur, Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek have publicly demanded equal night scheduling to boost visibility and demonstrate women’s entertainment value.
- Tournament director Amelie Mauresmo has defended the current practice, insisting the absence of women’s matches at night is not a comment on their worth.
