Overview
- Jannik Sinner said players “give much more than we are getting back,” urging the Grand Slams to show respect while stopping short of backing a boycott.
- Italian Tennis president Angelo Binaghi gave “full support” to players and criticized the Slams for paying a smaller slice of revenue than ATP and WTA tour events.
- Aryna Sabalenka raised possible boycotts at Italian Open media day and Coco Gauff voiced support, while Iga Swiatek called a boycott extreme and Emma Raducanu said she would not join.
- French Open organizers lifted the 2026 prize pot to about €61.7 million with €2.8 million for the singles champions, yet players say their share has slipped to roughly 14.9% from 15.5% last year.
- Players are pressing for a 22% revenue share plus stronger representation, health options and pensions, and they want meetings with Slam leaders as no coordinated boycott has been announced.
