Turbulent days in the Roland Garros 2026 locker rooms. The players' latest measure, shortening their interactions with the press, is putting pressure on the Grand Slams... and Andrey Rublev was the last to explain why this decision, giving a detailed response about what the world's best are seeking. "When you try to communicate and work with someone for years and it doesn't work, and no one pays attention to you... at some point, you feel like you have to do something, to demand their attention."
We try to explain certain things to them, things that could be done better; it's not just about the money, there are many aspects... but they don't listen. They don't respond. Let me give you an example: sending an official email and no one responds for months. Do we matter so little to you that you can't even be bothered to communicate with us? We are trying to do something to make tennis evolve, so that everyone is comfortable, but it can't all go in one direction where you use the players, that's not the right way to do things. We just want communication, we are completely transparent, we have already talked about pensions, bonus pools... we ask them to listen to us and communicate with us." How will this all end?
