The world's top 10 male and female tennis players, including Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka, have rejected an offer from three Grand Slams to form a player council. They demand substantive responses on prize money shares and player welfare before further meetings. The dispute highlights ongoing frustrations over revenue distribution and governance in the sport.
Jessica Pegula, the world No. 5, recently won her fourth WTA 1000 title in Dubai and has been named president of the WTA's new architecture council. The role focuses on reforming the tour's congested schedule starting in 2027. Pegula emphasized the council's commitment to addressing player concerns promptly.
