World No. 1 female tennis player Aryna Sabalenka (28, Belarus) unveiled an outrageous sheer outfit ahead of the French Open. Captivating fans with the new attire, Sabalenka expressed dissatisfaction with the tournament's prize money scale and even mentioned the possibility of a boycott.

The UK's 'The Sun' recently reported that "Sabalenka revealed a new uniform she will wear at this year's French Open via her social media (SNS)."

The media explained that "the uniform revealed by Sabalenka is a Nike product, a sheer dress in a gradient style transitioning from intense red to black."

Sabalenka introduced the outfit as "my super suit," quoting a famous line from the movie 'The Incredibles.' Fans responded enthusiastically, saying "the best outfit ever" and "clothing fit for a queen."

She reached the final of this tournament last year but fell to Coco Gauff, settling for the runner-up spot, and aims for her first French Open title this year.

Separate from the outfit, Sabalenka expressed strong dissatisfaction with the prize money distribution method at major tournaments. Currently, some players from the men's ATP and women's WTA are arguing that the total prize money should be increased further to match the French Open's revenue growth.

This year's French Open total prize money has been set at 53.2 million pounds (approximately 106 billion won), a 9.5% increase from last year. The singles champions for both men and women will each receive 2.4 million pounds (approximately 4.7 billion won). However, Sabalenka maintains that the prize money scale is insufficient relative to the players' value. She argues that the revenue share going to players has decreased from 15.5% in 2024 to 14.9% in 2026, a figure far lower than the typical 22% players receive.

In an interview, Sabalenka emphasized that "boycott may be the only way to fight for players' rights." She continued, "The current prize money system is extremely unfair to players," and warned that "as female players can easily unite these days, there may soon be a situation where players boycott the tournament."
