The big tennis stars have sent a strong message to the US Open: they want a larger share of the tournament's revenues, or else the new mixed doubles format could be in limbo. Jannik Sinner, Jessica Pegula, Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, and Ben Shelton are some of the names supporting the movement.

The tension revolves around the new version of mixed doubles, which aims to become one of the major attractions of the next edition of the American Grand Slam. However, the players are unwilling to back the project without a larger financial commitment from the organization.

The message being conveyed is clear: without a significant increase in prize money and without a greater participation of the players in the revenues generated by the tournament, there will be no mixed doubles. The players believe they should receive a more substantial portion of the business they help create.

The USTA, organizer of the US Open, has offered to start discussions through a players' council and has also raised negotiations related to pensions. However, there is currently no concrete commitment regarding revenue sharing.

The boycott will only end with an increase in prize money

The conflict reflects an increasingly common discussion in professional tennis. The players are the ones who create the show, attract fans, and hold a significant part of the commercial value of the major tournaments, but they demand a greater share of the profits.

The stance of the stars appears firm. Sinner, Sabalenka, Gauff, Pegula, and Shelton are among the most visible faces of a demand that could shape the immediate future of the US Open: if the tournament wants to involve them in its new project, it will have to listen to their demands.
