What do the players demand from Roland Garros?

They claim that the prizes have not grown at the same rate as the tournament income. The bottom line is that players want a bigger share of the money Roland Garros generates.

Who are among the signatories?

Jannik Sinner, Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff are among the names named in the claim. Their presence gives public weight to the pressure because they are part of the most visible talent in current tennis.

Why does this claim have impact?

Because it involves figures who support the commercial appeal of the circuit. When the names that sell tickets and audiences question the revenue distribution of a Grand Slam, the discussion moves to the heart of the tennis business.
