Leading players at Wimbledon \u201cwill return to normal media duties\u201d beginning Monday after ending their prize money protest<\/a> following \u201cconstructive meetings\u201d with the All England Club. Several star players had\u202f\u201cplanned to limit their contractual media commitments to a symbolic 15 minutes per match day during the first week of the tournament,\u201d with the 15 minutes referring \u201cto their prize money as a percentage of overall tournament revenue.\u201d Wimbledon earlier this month unveiled the biggest ever uplift in prize money<\/a> and increased the overall prize pool by 20%. But the players \u201cestimated that their share of Wimbledon\u2019s projected revenues for 2026\u201d is 14.4% and said that ratio \u201cis less than their share from 10 years ago.\u201d ATP No. 1 Jannik Sinner, WTA No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka<\/a> and WTA No. 7 Coco Gauff all “\u202ftimed their press conferences on Saturday, intending to keep them under 10 minutes.” But \u201cnot all players joined in, suggesting a split within the leading stars\u201d (London INDEPENDENT, 6\/29<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leading players at Wimbledon \u201cwill return to normal media duties\u201d beginning Monday following \u201cconstructive meetings\u201d with the All…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":769006,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593,614],"class_list":["post-769005","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-wimbledon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/769005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=769005"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/769005\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/769006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=769005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=769005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=769005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
