Sinner and Sabalenka lead players’ protests at Wimbledon over prize money share

World No. 1 players Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka led a coordinated protest at Wimbledon on Saturday, limiting their media appearances to 15 minutes as part of an ongoing campaign for a greater share of grand slam tournament revenue, improved pensions, and better player welfare funding. Jessica Pegula indicated the protests, planned throughout the first week of Wimbledon, are also likely to continue at the US Open in New York in August. Sabalenka emphasized the action was taken collectively for the benefit of the tour rather than individual players.
