Top Tennis Players Escalate Wimbledon Revenue-Sharing Protest
Posted : 25 June 2026
Leading men's and women's tennis players plan to limit their media commitments during the first week of Wimbledon as part of an ongoing protest over prize money and revenue sharing.
The players argue that Wimbledon distributes less than 15% of its revenues to competitors and are also calling for a player welfare fund and a formal player council.
Wimbledon organizers expressed disappointment with the action, highlighting a record £64.2 million prize fund and significant investments in player facilities.
