Sinner betonar vikten av respekt i tvisten om prispengar i Grand Slam

Världsettan Jannik Sinner har uttalat sig om den växande spänningen mellan toppspelare och Grand Slam-turneringarna gällande prispengar, och ramar in frågan som en fråga om respekt snarare än bara ekonomi. Hans kommentarer kommer i en tid då andra stjärnor som Aryna Sabalenka och Novak Djokovic också har sällat sig till kraven på bättre behandling och ökat inflytande.

Vid en presskonferens inför Italian Open i Rom sa Sinner att toppspelarna anser att de ger mycket mer till sporten än vad de får tillbaka. ”Det handlar mer om respekt, för jag tycker att vi ger mycket mer än vad vi får tillbaka”, konstaterade han. Sinner påpekade att en grupp ledande ATP- och WTA-spelare skickade brev till de fyra Grand Slam-turneringarna i mars 2025 och igen i juli 2025 med krav på högre prispengar, bättre välmående för spelarna och ett större inflytande i beslutsfattande, men att de ännu inte har sett några meningsfulla framsteg efter mer än ett år.
