Top players including Aryna Sabalenka have signaled growing frustration with Grand Slam tournaments over prize money and governance. Speaking at the Italian Open, Sabalenka stated that a boycott could occur at some point. The comments come just over two weeks before the French Open amid recent prize adjustments that players have largely dismissed.
Aryna Sabalenka, the world number one, made the strongest public comment yet during the Italian Open in Rome. She said players would consider a boycott if issues over revenue sharing and welfare persist. Defending French Open champion Coco Gauff and Australian Open winner Elena Rybakina have also expressed disappointment with recent changes at Roland Garros.
