Players are asking for a higher share of Grand Slam revenue to be dedicated to prize money – as well as contributions to their benefit pot and a wider say in issues such as scheduling.<\/p>\n
Player representatives have meetings planned with executives from both the All England Club (AELTC) and the US Tennis Association in the second week of the French Open.<\/p>\n
The next pivotal moment of the dispute will be when the AELTC announces the prize money for this year’s Wimbledon on 11 June.<\/p>\n
Players are asking each Grand Slam to devote 16% of their revenue to prize money this year. After taking last year’s revenue of \u00a3427m, and adjusting for inflation, that demand would equate to over \u00a370m at Wimbledon – or a 34% rise on the \u00a353.5m prize money offered in 2025.<\/p>\n
Players are also asking each Slam to make a $4m (\u00a32.98m) contribution to their benefit pool this year, and further action is a possibility when Wimbledon begins on 28 June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Players are asking for a higher share of Grand Slam revenue to be dedicated to prize money –…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":661044,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":["post-661043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661043","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=661043"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661043\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/661044"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=661043"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=661043"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=661043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
