Tennis players at the French Open plan to limit or scale back their media participation amid a dispute over Grand Slam prize-money distribution and related concerns about player influence. Multiple outlets report that players are calling for changes to the prize-money structure and are considering coordinated action around the tournament’s traditional pre-event media coverage. Coverage from The Independent and The Athletic indicates the situation involves a row over prize money reform, with players yet to stage a formal protest at the time of earlier reporting, though a media-focused action is expected. The Cyprus Mail reports that the tournament director, Amélie Mauresmo, comments on the situation and says she regrets the decision by some players to reduce their media obligations ahead of the French Open. It also says several leading players are expected to restrict appearances during Friday and Saturday’s pre-tournament media days. Overall reporting agrees that the planned media protest is the main form of action being discussed and that tensions rise between players and tournament officials as the dispute continues into the start of the event.
