Aryna Sabalenka supported the players’ choice to persist with their protests at Wimbledon, emphasizing that the initiative aims to assist lower-ranked competitors rather than to benefit the top stars.
Following their protests at the French Open, leading ATP and WTA players are continuing their efforts at Wimbledon by restricting their mandatory media obligations to 15 minutes during the first week of the tournament.
Despite Wimbledon raising this year’s total prize money to a record £64.2 million (approximately $84.8 million), players were reportedly requesting around £70 million ($92.4 million), indicating that the organizers ultimately did not meet their expectations.
“We do it for the Tour, we don’t do it for ourselves. We do it for the rest of the players who are suffering to even hire a coach. It’s not an easy life for lower-ranked players,” Sabalenka the top-ranked WTA player, stated in a before-tournament press conference.
“It’s a great start they raise the prize money. It’s an amazing start. If you look over the last 10 years, if you compare the prize money to 2016, it’s kind of like the same (as a percentage) because it went down,” she added. Meanwhile, several people showed interest in knowing her wealth and current relationship status.

“There was a really tough period where I was really happy to have him by my side, always cheering me up, always making sure that we are doing some fun stuff,” Sabalenka shared with People after they began their relationship. “But I make sure I kind of forget about tennis and focus on the good things and enjoy my life. Even when things are going wrong in my career. So yeah, he was my biggest support and yeah, really happy to have him by my side.”
