A few days ago, Aryna Sabalenka made headlines for being one of the first tennis players to threaten to boycott the Grand Slams after the prize money for Roland Garros 2026 was published, which many consider too low. The world number one's opinion has garnered applause but also criticism, as in the case of Simon Jordan on TalkSport. "If it wasn't for these tournaments, they wouldn't have anywhere to play. If the Grand Slams didn't exist, they wouldn't have anywhere to play, so it's a mutual benefit. If we didn't have a tournament that attracted media from around the world and the best players, and you being one of them, you wouldn't have anywhere to play, idiot. It irritates me because it's very simplistic."
