Siner: We have been silent for too long.

The world's best tennis players continue to pressure the organizers of the Grand Slam tournaments over the distribution of income, and Janik Siner said that the players expect a reaction from Wimbledon and the US Open after their dissatisfaction with the financial conditions at Roland Garros.

Siner stated at the Rome Masters that players are not just fighting for bigger prizes for the biggest stars, but for better conditions for all tennis players.

"It's more about respect. I think we give a lot more than we get in return. This is not just for the best players, it's for all of us," Siner said.

World number one Aryna Sabalenka previously stated that players should even consider boycotting the tournament.

However, Siner did not want to directly confirm the possibility of a boycott.

"It's hard to say now. I can't predict the future, but I believe we have to start somewhere," the Italian tennis player added.

The players' dissatisfaction is primarily directed at Roland Garros, as they claim that their share of the tournament's revenue will fall to 14,9 percent in 2026, compared to 15,5 percent last year.

Tennis players point out that at ATP and WTA tournaments, such as the Rome Masters, they receive around 22 percent of their income, while with bonus funds the percentage goes up to 30 percent.

Last year, a group of leading tennis players sent a letter to the organizers of all four Grand Slams requesting an increase in prize money and greater influence in decision-making.

Meanwhile, Wimbledon increased its prize money by seven percent, the US Open by 20 percent, while the Australian Open increased its total prize money by 16 percent this year.

Roland Garros organizers recently announced that the total prize pool will be 61,7 million euros, an increase of about ten percent, but players claim that "the real picture looks different" when comparing the total tournament revenue and the percentage that goes to tennis players.

"We have been silent for too long and now it is time to raise our voices. We are not asking for 50 percent, we would not ask for that, but we are currently getting too little," said Siner.
