"The players expressed their deep disappointment at the prize money on offer at Roland Garros, stating that their share of tournament revenue has declined significantly despite increased overall revenue."
"Roland Garros generated 395 million euros in revenue in 2025, yet prize money rose by just 5.4 percent, reducing players' share of revenue to 14.3 percent."
"The players are calling for a prize money percentage of 22 percent to align the Grand Slams with their contributions, as current figures show a declining share."
Leading tennis players, including Jannik Sinner, Aryna Sabalenka, and Coco Gauff, are dissatisfied with the prize money at Roland Garros. They express disappointment over the 10 percent increase in prize money, which they feel does not reflect their contributions. The players highlight other unmet demands, such as better representation, healthcare, and pensions. Despite a significant revenue increase for the tournament, the players' share of revenue has declined, prompting calls for a higher percentage to align with their expectations.
