Aryna Sabalenka says she supports the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) transgender eligibility rules, including mandatory genetic testing for players seeking to compete in women’s events. Reporting from Montreal quotes Sabalenka as arguing that the policy is meant to keep competition fair, and she offers to undergo the screening herself if required. Both outlets describe her position as that male athletes should not compete in women’s tennis, citing biological differences. Fox News presents her remarks as supportive of the WTA’s policy framework and emphasizes her willingness to take the test. The Daily Mail similarly characterizes her comments as backing the rules and reflects her statement that men are biologically stronger than women. Neither outlet provides additional details on how the tests are conducted, the specific eligibility thresholds, or how the policy will be implemented beyond referencing that genetic or sex-related screening is part of the new rules. The coverage focuses on her public endorsement and her rationale for why she believes the changes affect who should be allowed to compete in women’s tennis events.
