ROME — Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka said she believes tennis players should organize a boycott if they don't start receiving a bigger share of tournament revenues at the Grand Slams.
A group of leading players including Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff have expressed “their deep disappointment” at the level on prize money at Roland Garros amid a lingering dispute with Grand Slam tournament organizers. The clay-court Grand Slam event starts later this month in western Paris. The players said they have other demands that have not been addressed by officials, including better representation, health and pensions. The players’ call came after French Open organizers announced last month the Roland Garros prize money has increased by about 10 percent for an overall pot of €61.7 million ($72.1 million), with the total amount up €5.3 million from last year. “Players’ share of Roland Garros tournament revenue has declined from 15.5 percent in 2024 to 14.9 percent projected in 2026,” the group of players responded in a statement on Monday. Play begins on May 24 at Roland Garros.
MADRID: A disciplined Mirra Andreeva saw off a late challenge from Hailey Baptiste to prevail 6-4 7-6(8) in a battle of nerves on Thursday to reach the final of the Madrid Open. Andreeva, who turned 19 on Wednesday, will face Marta Kostyuk or Anastasia Potapova in the final of the claycourt tournament, with the two set to face off later in the day. “I feel so much adrenaline inside, I feel like I’m still nervous,” Andreeva said in the post-match interview. “Honestly, I’m just so happy that I won... I’m very happy with how I served today.” Baptiste had shocked world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the quarterfinals, but the 24-year-old struggled as ninth seed Andreeva conceded only two points on serve in the first set. The American stood firm until the seventh game, when Baptiste’s forehand landed wide, handing Andreeva a break point.
