Top-ranked tennis players, including Madison Keys, are considering boycotting Grand Slam tournaments to pressure organizers into making changes. Keys, who reached a career-high fifth position and is currently ranked 19th in the WTA rankings, expressed her concerns in an interview with AFP. She noted that many of the top players are advocating for a larger share of the tournaments' revenues, with world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka from Belarus also voicing her willingness to join a boycott.

Keys discussed her evolving relationship with clay court tennis in the interview, saying, "When I first started playing on clay years ago, I didn't like the surface—it's slow, and the points are long. But as I've aged, I've learned to appreciate the different style of play on red courts. I've had some success, so I've started to believe in myself. I have good chances at Roland Garros. I need to find my game and be at 100 percent. If I do that, I have a chance."

"I think it's important for the players' voices to be heard when major decisions are being made. For many years, players have tried to sit at the table and negotiate with the Grand Slam organizers. This hasn't led to any serious changes so far. Now, a large number of players have united around the idea that a boycott is necessary. I hope it doesn't come to that. But it's great to see so many players, especially the younger ones, willing to fight for everyone else. I'm ready for a boycott, and many others will join. I think that's inspiring," Keys added.
