Racial-up-up-Sparks outrage, Chinese players confused in the photo bacle

Roland Garros popped for the photo mix: a case of racist speed runner

In a shocking turn of events, Roland Garros was examined intensively for a big mistake in which the Chinese tennis players Zheng Qinwen and Zheng Saisai are involved. The prestigious French Open tournament incorrectly confused the two athletes on their official player cards and triggered outrage on social media platforms.

The mistake of Zheng Qinwen on both players showed the mistake that was first noticed on the official website of the tournament. While Qinwen, the world No. 7 in Singles, is an impressive contender and gold medalist in Paris 2024, it was actually her compatriot, the 31-year-old Zheng Saisai, who was supposed to compete alongside Xinyu Wang.

Despite Saisai's impressive track record as the current world No. 69 in double and former No. 15, the confusion caused a wave of criticism of Roland Garros. Social -Media users quickly denounced the mistake, and a user commented sarcastic: “Shame on you, @rolandgarros, the French are just French. Maybe all Chinese people look like it? Brilliant! You are not just stereotypes, you are Speedrunning through racism like a hobby !!

Tennis enthusiasts and supporters of racial equality were horrified by the supervision, which emphasized the insensitivity and racist effects of such errors. The incident reminded a strong memory of the importance of the exact representation and respect for the diversity in the sports world.

While the Roland Garros website has fixed the error since then by correcting the photos and names of the players, the damage caused by the initial error has already refuted in the tennis community. The incident at Roland Garros serves as a warning story for the sports industry and emphasizes the need for vigilance and cultural sensitivity in all aspects of the game.
