Overview

• Contents of a July 30 letter are now public, outlining three requests: a player welfare fund, raising the revenue-based prize share from 16% to 22% by 2030, and a permanent Grand Slam Players' Council.
• Players have hired former WTA chief Larry Scott to lobby the four Majors and press for formal responses to the letter’s proposals.
• The USTA says US Open prize money rose 57% over five years to a record $90 million in 2025, with singles champions Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka receiving $5 million each.
• Most top‑10 ATP and WTA players signed the July 30 letter, with notable absences including Novak Djokovic, Elena Rybakina, and Karen Khachanov.
• The PTPA has formally added the four Slams to its reform campaign, and the dispute remains active without a negotiated agreement.
