French Open rejects prize money change despite tennis stars’ boycott threat

The French Open has rejected calls to change its prize money structure for 2026, according to tournament director Amelie Mauresmo. Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka and No. 4 Coco Gauff have led player complaints that Roland Garros allocates only 14.3 percent of revenue to players, compared to 22 percent at standard ATP and WTA events. Players have threatened a boycott ahead of the tournament, which is set to begin on Sunday.
