Year-long dispute over increased pay at grand slams
The world’s leading players told Wimbledon officials that they expect a substantial increase in prize money at this year’s Championships at a meeting that also involved representatives from the US Open at Roland Garros on Monday.
The All England Club is due to confirm details of this year’s prize fund at a press conference on 11 June, with the players calling for a bigger rise than last year’s 7% increase as part of their push for the grand slams to match the 22% of tournament revenue paid by the ATP and WTA Tours.
