John Isner expressed strong backing for tennis players advocating for a larger share of Grand Slam revenues during an interview. This follows a media boycott by players at the French Open that highlighted their demand for increasing the revenue share from 15% to 22% by 2030. Isner, who earned over $22 million in his career, noted the disparity between tennis and other sports which benefit from collective bargaining. While Wimbledon has raised its prize purse to $85.7 million this year, players' revenue share remains below 15%. The US Open is up next, with discussions ongoing regarding player participation and potential protests.
