Aryna Sabalenka, a four-time Grand Slam champion from Belarus, has indicated that a boycott of major tennis tournaments could be a necessary step if the ongoing dispute over prize money is not resolved. Speaking at a press conference in Rome before the Italian Open, she emphasized that top players, including herself, are pushing for a larger share of revenue and better benefits from the Grand Slam events. Sabalenka stated, “I think at some point we will boycott it. I feel like that is going to be the only way to kind of fight for our rights.” While World No. 3 Iga Świątek supports the call for increased prize money, she considers a boycott to be an extreme measure. Similarly, World No. 2 Elena Rybakina expressed her willingness to follow the majority opinion on this issue. Recently, several leading players voiced their disappointment regarding the prize money for the upcoming French Open, highlighting the need for equitable treatment. The prize pool for the US Open increased by 20% last year, and the Australian Open saw an almost 16% rise in its total prize money this January, with Wimbledon expected to announce its figures in June.
