Wimbledon 2026: Players to expand prize money protests despite 20% increase

Leading tennis players plan to expand their prize money protest at Wimbledon 2026, despite a 20% increase in the tournament's prize money pot. Building on their French Open protest, where some players limited pre-tournament media appearances to 15 minutes, players will go further at Wimbledon by restricting both media weekend appearances and post-match press conferences. The protest reflects ongoing dissatisfaction among players regarding prize money distribution in professional tennis.
