Top tennis players could boycott French Open over prize money: Sabalenka

Women's world number one Aryna Sabalenka warned on Tuesday, May 6, 2026, that top tennis players could boycott the French Open over prize money disputes, with Coco Gauff also voicing support for the move. The threat comes despite Roland Garros organisers increasing the overall prize pot by approximately 10 percent to 61.7 million euros ($72.1 million), up 5.3 million euros from the previous year. Players argue they deserve to be paid more at Grand Slam tournaments and remain unsatisfied with the current distribution.
