Tennis slams’ refusal to discuss money is slap in face for players who are right to threaten boycott | Tumaini Carayol

At some point in the quiet buildup to her opening match at the Italian Open, Aryna Sabalenka decided to attack one of the most contentious subjects in her sport with the same force as her forehand. In her press conference, the subject of the top players’ attempts to attain a greater revenue share from the grand slam tournaments prompted the world No 1 to make a drastic prediction: “I think at some point we will boycott it, yeah,” she said. “I feel like that’s going to be the only way to fight for our rights.”

Italian Open: Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic on Grand Slam demands and potential boycott

Jannik Sinner considers it "tough to say" whether he would ever boycott a Grand Slam over prize money, but the Italian claims players are not getting the respect they deserve.

His fellow world number one Aryna Sabalenka said on Tuesday that she believes players will "at some point" boycott one of the majors.

The top 10 players are demanding a higher percentage of the revenue generated by the four Slams, as well as benefit contributions and a greater say in areas such as scheduling.

"It's more about respect," Sinner said in Rome before his attempt to win a sixth consecutive Masters 1,000 title at the Italian Open.

The dynamic landscape of current events often brings forth significant discussions. Monitoring these developments provides crucial insights.
