Sabalenka and Sinner Lead Wimbledon Media Boycott Over Prize Money
Sabalenka, Sinner, Gauff, Swiatek, Medvedev and Zverev have cut Wimbledon slots to minutes, demanding prize‑money shares and welfare.
Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner have led a Wimbledon media boycott, cutting interview slots to 15 minutes to demand a larger share of prize‑money and better welfare benefits. The protest now includes a roster of the sport’s brightest names: Coco Gauff, Iga Świątek, Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev have all agreed to the 15‑minute limit, joining Sabalenka and Sinner in refusing the traditional, lengthy press obligations that accompany a Grand Slam appearance. 2 million, but the players argue that the bulk of the money still flows to the top tier, leaving lower‑ranked competitors scrambling to cover travel, coaching and medical costs.
