The Madrid Open is one of the precursors to the French Open <\/a>later this month, and while most of the tennis world is celebrating Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka\u2019s victories, there were a myriad of controversies along the way.<\/p>\n

First, Victoria Azarenka<\/a> pointed out the differences in the cakes the champions of the tournament received. Alcaraz \u2013 who is from Spain \u2013 received the giant two-tiered dessert after his win over Jan-Lennard Struff. Sabalenka received a single-tier cake with a few candles and fanfare.<\/p>\n

Azarenka agreed with one Twitter user who wrote, “the difference in cake size is astounding.”<\/p>\n

However, it was Alcaraz’s birthday on Friday<\/p>\n

Additionally, Azarenka and her doubles partner Beatriz Haddad Maia defeated Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula in the final, but the winners were barred from addressing the crowd after the match. According to USA Today, finalists in the men\u2019s singles and doubles and the women\u2019s singles were given the opportunity to speak to the crowd.<\/p>\n

“Wasn\u2019t given the chance to speak after the final today:( But thank you to the fans for supporting us and women\u2019s tennis this week! Thanks @JLPegula for always keeping it fun on the court and hitting unreal clutch shots hahahaha Lastly, big congratulations Vika and Bia,” Gauff tweeted Sunday.<\/p>\n

“[A]lso thanks to my team and Jess\u2019s team of course! Also for the ball kids, tournament staff, and everyone else who works hard behind the scenes. Twitter format doesn\u2019t allow me to say everything I would\u2019ve said during the speech if we had one. But just wanted to say I\u2018m thankful.”<\/p>\n

Pegula added her own opinion to the mix.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t know what century everyone was living in when they made that decision,” she said Tuesday, via Tennis Majors. “To be honest, it kind of spoke for itself. We were upset when it happened, especially being told during the trophy ceremony we weren\u2019t going to be allowed to speak. We were kind of like, Well, I guess this just kind of proves a point.”<\/p>\n

Lastly, the other controversy stemmed from those who were not playing for the trophies.<\/p>\n

During the men\u2019s matches, the all-female crew whose job it was to provide the balls to the competitors wore short skirts and crop tops that showed their midriff. After complaints, the ball crew changed their outfits.<\/p>\n

Pilar Calvino, a spokesperson for the Spanish Association for Women in Professional Sport, told The Independent the organizers were urged to change the policy around the dress code.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a way of feminizing girls with respect to boys who don\u2019t dress in the same way,” Calvino said. “Ultimately, it\u2019s a form of sexist violence that is so widespread that people don\u2019t even notice it.”<\/p>\n

Madrid Open organizers<\/a> have not addressed the outcry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
