Overview
- Jannik Sinner, speaking Thursday in Rome, said he would not rule out skipping Grand Slams to push for higher pay and greater respect for players.
- He said Roland-Garros left players disappointed even after lifting its prize pool to €61.7 million, with €2.8 million for each singles champion.
- He pointed to prize-money announcements due from Wimbledon in the next two weeks, with the US Open to follow, as potential turning points.
- He said top-10 men and women sent a joint letter a year ago seeking changes and still have no resolution.
- He described rare unity across the locker room and added that a boycott would carry heavy costs, so he stopped short of a firm pledge.
