World number one Aryna Sabalenka wears a high-value jewellery set in her French Open first-round match just days after helping lead tennis players’ calls for more prize money. Multiple outlets report that Sabalenka’s outfit includes multiple pieces of diamond jewellery, and that the value attributed to the set varies by source depending on currency and estimates. Stuff.co.nz says the jewellery is worth about $172,000, while other coverage cites a much lower figure in pounds, referencing an estimate of around £76,000. The Daily Mail describes the items as two necklaces and matching earrings, detailing carat counts for diamonds and garnets. In her match, Sabalenka plays against Spaniard Jessica Bouzas Maneiro and wins in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2, according to reports. The Independent and the Daily Mail both frame the jewellery as part of an ongoing public discussion following the prize-money protest, with Sabalenka addressing questions about whether she is a hypocrite. The coverage emphasizes the timing between the protest and her appearance, while the match result remains consistent across sources.
