Two great stars of the world tennis – the vice-leader of the ATP world ranking, Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz and number two in the WTA ranking, Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, celebrate their birthday on the same day – May 5th. Alcaraz is now 20 years old and Sabalenka is five years older than him.

Sabalenka sadly comments on the birthday cake

On the birthday of Sabalenka and Alcaraz, very prestigious tournaments are played on clay courts in Madrid. Both tennis stars also play in this year’s tournaments in the Spanish capital. On the occasion of their birthday, the organizers of the tournaments prepared a surprise for them – cakes. It was a very nice gesture on the part of the organizers. However, there is one small “but”. It’s easy to see that Sabalenka’s cake is small. On the other hand, the cake prepared for Alcaraz is huge, two-story, much bigger than the one received by the Belarusian woman.

“The difference in cake size is astounding,” one user tweeted.

Aryna Sabalenka reacted to this entry. She added the same post on Twitter and commented on it with three sad faces.

However, this did not prevent the fans from commenting that this is another example of unequal treatment of women and men in tennis. For a long time, there has been a discussion in this sport about the earnings of tennis players and tennis players. While there are no differences in Grand Slams, in smaller tournaments men are still much better paid than women. In the discussion on this subject, Iga Świątek also expressed her opinion.
