Players’ protests over prize money share to continue at Wimbledon
Revenue share is 14.4%; players want 16%
Players to limit time they give to the media
The top men’s and women’s tennis players have decided to continue their protests for a greater percentage of grand slam tournament revenues at Wimbledon.
A month after the top players chose to limit their pre-tournament media duties at the French Open to 15 minutes, the players will extend the protest until the end of the first week of the tournament, also limiting their post-match media duties during the event.
