John McEnroe calls for Grand Slam boycott over prize money

John McEnroe stated that tennis players may need to boycott Grand Slam tournaments to secure a larger share of revenues. His comments came as a group of top-10 players concluded the public phase of their protest regarding prize money. McEnroe emphasized that players should be considered partners in the majors and highlighted the ongoing tensions created by their lack of control over revenues and schedules. Recently, the ATP and WTA Tour player group shifted focus to a newly formed Grand Slam player council to address these issues. The council aims to push for an increase in prize money, targeting 22 percent of revenues by 2030, amid discussions of players' rights and welfare.
