Tim Henman steps in to grand slam pay row to deter player protests at Wimbledon

Tim Henman, former British No 1 and All England Club Board member, has intervened in the ongoing dispute over grand slam prize money by holding talks with top players, including WTA Players' Council representatives, at the Italian Open in Rome. Wimbledon is set to offer the creation of a new player council during a formal meeting with player agents scheduled at Roland Garros next week. The move comes as players continue to demand larger prize pots at major tennis events.
