It has been clear for a long time that there is a chaotic situation on the tennis scene and that players want significantly higher benefits and significantly higher financial injections at important tournaments.
Confirmation of this just came a few days ago when a group of the world's best tennis players sent a second letter to the organizers of the four Grand Slam tournaments, wanting a bigger share of the revenue, an increase from the current 16% to 22% by 2030.
In addition to these demands, they also want health benefits, a pension fund and maternity benefits, and the figure they believe should be set aside is 12 million dollars.
They are also looking for greater freedom and a greater right to vote when it comes to serious tennis issues.
This letter was signed by great men's and women's tennis stars such as Sabalenka, Gauff, Sinner, Alcaraz and many others.
It is important to point out that Larry Scott is a consultant to the players in this process.
Scott held meetings between individual players and the leaders of Roland Garros, the Australian Open and the US Open.
Response
The USTA's response, dated Aug. 18, was signed by Brian Vahaly, interim co-executive director, and Stacey Allaster, USTA head of professional tennis.
Vahaly and Allaster stressed that they are open to increasing player fees, explaining that in previous years these fees have been increasing year after year.
The two equally emphasized that they want to make the entire process transparent, emphasizing how important it is to talk to the players and ensure a stable future for everyone.
