Roland Garros director discusses greater revenue sharing with player representatives.Representatives of the world’s top tennis players, who are campaigning to receive a larger share of Grand Slam prize money, and the organisers of the French Open have engaged in a constructive meeting over the issue, the French Tennis Federation (FFT) has said on the eve of the tournament.The FFT, represented among others by Roland Garros director and former women’s world number one Amelie Mauresmo, met the player representatives on Friday at the end of the boycott-impacted media day before the start of the French Open.Recommended Stories list of 4 itemslist 1 of 4Man Utd’s Fernandes trumps Arsenal to Premier League player of season awardlist 2 of 4F1 legend Prost suffers head injury in alleged robbery at Swiss homelist 3 of 4‘He’s authentically himself’: Salah leaves a legacy far beyond the pitchlist 4 of 4Five key talking points for the Premier League season finaleend of list“[The meeting] has allowed the FFT and the players’ representatives to engage in a positive and transparent exchange on a number of issues,” the federation said in a press release on Saturday.“As these discussions require more time, all parties have agreed to continue the dialogue and to meet again in the coming weeks.”A source close to the discussions told the news agency AFP earlier on Saturday that the FFT “has agreed to negotiate directly with the players” involved in the protest, which includes world number-ones Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka.As the organiser of the Paris Grand Slam, the FFT “has committed to responding to the players’ proposals in the coming weeks”, the source added.Since March 2025, a group of about 20 of the highest-ranked players on the ATP and WTA tours have been trying to secure a larger share of the revenue generated by Grand Slam tournaments.The players involved are calling for a 22 percent share of these revenues by 2030, compared with around 15 percent at present.To demonstrate their dissatisfaction, 20 players have been limiting their media commitments to 15 minutes on Friday and Saturday, during the two days set aside for pre-tournament news conferences and interviews at Roland Garros.Representatives of the world’s top players, mainly agents, have now planned talks with the organisers of Wimbledon and the US Open at two separate meetings scheduled to take place towards the end of Roland Garros.However, no meeting is currently planned with the organisers of the Aus...
Tennis players to limit French Open media duties in pay dispute
PARIS - Tennis stars will protest against perceived low pay by limiting their media duties in the build-up to the French Open, a source said May 20.Certain players, whose names have not been announced, will only speak to the press for 15 minutes on media day at Roland Garros and will then refuse to undertake interviews with the Grand Slam tournament’s TV rights holders, according to a source, corroborating reports in French daily L’Equipe.Jannik Sinner earlier this month called for the Slam events to show “respect” to players in a row over prize money.Players have claimed they are currently only paid 15 per cent of the current revenue from the Grand Slams, asking for 22 per cent instead.Women’s world number one Aryna Sabalenka said earlier this month at the Italian Open that players might have to boycott the sport’s four biggest tournaments to “defend our rights”.The French tennis federation said on May 20 that the players’ decision to cut short media duties “penalises all stakeholders in the tournament – the media, broadcasters, the federation’s staff, and the entire tennis family who enthusiastically follow each edition of Roland Garros”.A meeting between the French Open organisers and “some of the players’ representatives” is to be held on May 22.
