Tennis Stars Demand Governance Reforms in Grand Slam Tournaments

Top tennis players, including Novak Djokovic, Aryna Sabalenka, and Coco Gauff, have sent a second reform letter to Grand Slam tournaments, demanding changes in tennis governance. The players are advocating for increased player welfare benefits, including pension, healthcare, and maternity support, as well as a higher percentage of tournament revenue as prize money by 2030.

They are also pushing for the formation of a Grand Slam Player Council to provide players with a voice in major decisions. The campaign for reforms gained momentum after players criticized the recent tournament extensions despite understanding the commercial motivations.

The players are seeking a more player-centric approach to governance in tennis.
