"I think at some point we will boycott it, yeah. I feel like that's going to be the only way to fight for our rights. Let's see how far we can get, if it's going to take players for boycott. Some of the things, I feel like it's really unfair to the players."
"I just really hope that all of the negotiation that we are having, we at some point are going to get to the right decision, to the conclusion that everyone will be happy with."
"It's not about me. It's about the future of our sport and also the current players who aren't getting as much benefits, maybe, as even some of the other tournaments."
Women's tennis players, including Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff, are advocating for higher prize money at Grand Slam tournaments. They threaten to boycott the French Open if their demands are not met. Despite a 10 percent increase in prize money for this year's tournament, players argue that their share remains below 15 percent of tournament revenue, far from the 22 percent they seek. Sabalenka expressed hope for negotiations but emphasized the need for action if demands are ignored. Gauff echoed the sentiment, stressing the importance of fair compensation for current and future players.
