Tennis players have been critical of organizers for reducing their share of tournament revenues to 14.3%, compared to 22% on standard ATP and WTA events. To express their dissatisfaction, many Roland Garros participants plan to limit media interactions to 15 minutes during activities scheduled for Friday.

Former Australian Open and Wimbledon champion Billie Jean King has stated she is still in favor of dialogue and believes a resolution will be reached. A meeting between organizers and player representatives is expected to take place on Friday.

When asked if changes to the prize money fund might occur this year, King responded, "No, we won't change anything." She added, "We will initiate discussions and that's what everyone wants."

Top-ranked player Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus and defending champion Coco Gauff are among the players supporting a boycott of grand slam tournaments if players don't start receiving a larger share of the proceeds.

Roland Garros has increased the prize fund by about 10%, following the US Open's increase of 20% last year and this year's Australian Open boost of 16%. The organizers of this year's Roland Garros announced last month that the prize fund has been increased by 10% to 61.7 million euros, which is 5.3 million euros more than last year.

However, players argue that their share of Roland Garros revenues has fallen from 15.5% in 2024 to 14.9% this year. They claim the tournament generated 395 million euros last year, a 14% increase from the previous year, but the prize fund only increased by 5.4%, reducing the players' share of revenues to 14.3%.

Champions in both singles competitions will receive 2.8 million euros each, which is a 250,000 euro increase over last year. King stated, "I won't tell you everything will be resolved when you snap your fingers. But discussions will continue, probably after the tournament."

The tournament at Roland Garros in Paris begins this weekend and runs until June 7.
