The incredible letter of Jabeur in defense of women's tennis: "Prejudices come from those who have never seen a match"

Ons Jabeur has written an incredible and beautiful plea in favor of women's tennis and in response to criticism: "Many elite sportswomen have been told the same thing over and over: that nobody watches, nobody cares, that women's sports don't 'sell.' Prejudices come from those who have never seen a match. An empty stadium is considered proof. Full stadiums? Conveniently ignored. A missed shot makes headlines. The hundreds of brilliant shots? Forgotten. But they show up. But they compete. Yet they carry a sport on their shoulders. When a woman wins 6-0, it's called boring. Too easy. When a man does it? That's 'dominance.' 'Strength.' 'Unstoppable.' When women play with strength, they're told they 'play like men.' As if strength, speed, or aggression don't belong in women's sports. If they celebrate, they're dramatic. If they don't, they're cold." This is a portion of the letter, but the rest continues to demand more attention for women's tennis.
