Wimbledon announced a 20% increase in prize money, with the men's singles champion to receive £3.6 million. This comes after players, including top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner, demanded a larger share of tournament revenue.
Top tennis players met with Wimbledon, US Open, and Roland Garros officials to demand a significant prize money increase. Players seek a larger share of tournament revenue, citing the ATP/WTA Tours' 22% payout, and are awaiting Wimbledon's announcement on June 11th.
Roland Garros organizers will not increase prize money for the upcoming tournament, despite player demands. Tournament director Amelie Mauresmo stated the prize fund has doubled in ten years and recently saw a significant increase. A meeting with player representatives is scheduled.
