Sabalenka and Co urge Slams to revive 'stalled' talks
The Straits Times
|November 08, 2025
Top WTA stars, including Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek, are calling on the four Grand Slams to get back to the negotiation table and reconsider their proposals regarding revenue sharing, player welfare and consultation.
-
“For sure it would be great if the Grand Slams wanted to talk to us, because that’s how it’s supposed to be and I don’t really get why there’s no more open conversation,” Swiatek said in Riyadh, where the WTA Finals are being held.
“It’s not only about prize money, but also about the pension, the health plan and just having more smooth cooperation and communication in the future. So I think it’s a setback and the players are not happy with it.”
World No. 1 Sabalenka added: “I think it’s the time right now to sit at a table and come to a conclusion that everyone will be happy with.”
The leading players of the men and women’s tours joined forces in 2025 and sent a letter to the four Majors, seeking a higher percentage of tournament revenue and contributions towards tour-funded welfare programmes such as pensions.
