10 of Top 11 WTA players sign letter demanding more prize money from Grand Slams

Following recent legal actions by the Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA) challenging the power structures in tennis, a new and separate wave of player activism is gaining momentum—this time led by many of the highest-ranked women on tour.

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka is among 10 WTA players demanding more prize money and a greater say in crucial decisions.

On March 21, ten of the top eleven women in the WTA rankings, as per rankings from the week of March 3, signed a letter addressed to the directors of all four Grand Slam tournaments.
