Leading tennis players are planning to limit their pre-French Open media commitments to 15 minutes during Friday's traditional pre-tournament media day. This decision serves as a protest regarding the prize money on offer at Roland Garros.
Tournament director Amelie Mauresmo expressed regret on Thursday over the decision by certain players to limit their media obligations. The move comes amid growing tensions concerning prize money and player influence at the Grand Slams.
Despite player complaints about their share of the major's revenue, Mauresmo stated that the French Open will not adjust its prize money pool this year.
