Jannik Sinner, the Italian tennis player, has backed the threat of a boycott of the upcoming French Open due to ongoing disputes over prize money distribution. Sinner highlighted that players currently receive less than 15% of the tournament's revenue, which has declined from 15.5% in previous years. The French Open organizers recently announced a 9.5% increase in prize money to €61.7 million, but this still falls short compared to other Grand Slam tournaments, such as the $90 million awarded at the US Open and $80.6 million at the Australian Open. Sinner emphasized the need for respect in negotiations, stating, "We give much more than what we are getting back." Aryna Sabalenka echoed his sentiments, suggesting that a boycott might be the only effective means to secure fair treatment for players. Despite ongoing discussions, the players feel that their concerns have not been adequately addressed, leading to calls for drastic measures.
