Players protest prize money changes amid Wimbledon media duties

Aryna Sabalenka and other leading players protest limited media commitments at Wimbledon in response to prize money distribution. A group including Sabalenka, Jannik Sinner, and Coco Gauff seeks greater revenue share and improved welfare benefits. Though Wimbledon raised its prize money by 20%, protests have continued, reflecting discontent over player earnings. Some players, including Sinner and Daniil Medvedev, opted for limited media engagements, while others, like Novak Djokovic, did not participate in the protests. The players are advocating for a 16% revenue share in prize money, increasing to 22% by 2030.
