During Media Day at the French Open, top tennis players, including world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner, staged a protest against the current prize money distribution and player benefits. The players are advocating for a 22% share of tournament revenue, reflecting the higher percentages seen at ATP and WTA 1000 events. They also demand improvements in pensions, health insurance, and maternity benefits, as well as a greater voice in decision-making processes affecting the sport. Sabalenka emphasized the importance of fighting for lower-ranked players, stating, "It's not easy to live in this tennis world with that percentage they are earning." Sinner echoed these sentiments, expressing frustration over the lack of response from Grand Slam organizers to previous letters outlining their demands. While the protest remains peaceful, with shortened media obligations and cancelled appearances, it underscores a growing call for respect and acknowledgment of players' contributions to the sport. The players' unity marks a significant step in their ongoing negotiations with the Grand Slams.
