Overview
- Sinner said detailed proposals from top men’s and women’s players were rejected in August and a US Open meeting request was declined.
- Players argue the Slams return roughly 12–15% of event revenue as prize money versus about 22% at major ATP and WTA events like Indian Wells and Rome.
- The coalition is pressing for Slam contributions to pensions, healthcare and maternity pay, noting the ATP and WTA fund roughly $80 million annually while the Slams contribute nothing.
- Initial meetings in May and July included player reps such as Sinner, Ruud, de Minaur, Sabalenka and Gauff, but players say requests for detailed financials were rebuffed.
- Recent prize-pool increases at Wimbledon and the US Open were criticized as top‑heavy, and players plan to renew public pressure during the Paris Masters.
