Top tennis players slam Roland Garros prize money, citing a shrinking share of tournament revenue

Leading tennis players including Jannik Sinner, Aryna Sabalenka, and Coco Gauff have expressed deep disappointment over Roland Garros prize money distribution, despite a 10% increase bringing the total pot to 61.7 million euros ($72.1 million) for 2025. The players argue that their share of tournament revenue has actually declined, dropping from 15.5% in 2024 to a projected 14.9% in 2026. The group issued a formal statement on Monday highlighting the shrinking percentage as the core of their grievance with French Open organizers.
