Overview
- Gauff renewed her call on Tuesday at Roland Garros for Grand Slams to adopt a clear signal, such as a red light, to show when cameras may be live and streaming players in non‑locker‑room areas.
- Her demand follows an incident at the Australian Open earlier this year when cameras broadcast her smashing a racket backstage, a moment she says was shown without a personal apology from the tournament.
- The WTA has alerted the Slams to player concerns but no tournament rule change or formal apology from the Australian Open has been reported so far.
- Gauff praised Roland Garros for having fewer invasive backstage cameras, and she said the conversation has spread among players, including Carlos Alcaraz, who raised similar privacy worries.
- Separately, Gauff said she was in a minor car accident en route to her French Open opener on Tuesday and still won her first‑round match, underscoring that her privacy campaign is unfolding while she competes.
