Top tennis stars demand changes in prize money and scheduling
Top tennis players, including Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka, are pushing for major reforms in how the sport is governed and how prize money is distributed. They argue that players are not being treated with enough respect during ongoing negotiations with Grand Slam organisers. The group is calling for a bigger share of tournament revenues and more say in scheduling decisions. Discussions have been ongoing, but little progress has been made so far.
