May 7 : Players have threatened to boycott the French Open if their prize money is not increased because they do not feel respected, world number one Jannik Sinner said on Thursday.
ROME — The top tennis players are already upset they are not receiving a bigger share of tournament revenues at the French Open. Now they're hoping Wimbledon and the US Open respond to their demands, according to Jannik Sinner.
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.

You have to raise your level if you want to keep going.” The Italian admitted he was feeling a little tired after playing so many matches of late. “Obviously there’s a bit of fatigue,” said Sinner. “Mentally I feel good but there is some physical tiredness.
