French Open players plan media protest over prize-money share‎

Players at the French Open are planning to reduce media appearances ahead of the start of the Grand Slam to complain about their share of the prize money. A group have already targeted the upcoming clay-court tournament for reducing players’ share of revenue to an alleged 14.3% — compared to 22% at other ATP and WTA events. L'Equipe newspaper reported Wednesday that many players competing at Roland Garros, which begins Sunday, are planning to limit their conversations with reporters to 15 minutes during Friday's traditional pre-tournament media day.
