Djokovic among 12-player panel to meet with tennis majors
The four Grand Slams used the Laver Cup in London as an opportunity to meet, with six men and six women named to the player panel.
Paris: A council of 12 players, including reigning Grand Slam champions Novak Djokovic and Elena Rybakina, is set to meet with tennis's major organizations, sources have confirmed to AFP. The proposal, which aims to increase players' share of tournament revenue from around 15% to 22%, was announced by the US Open, Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon earlier this month.
The council will examine all matters related to Grand Slam tournaments, including player welfare and remuneration. While some top-ranked players, such as Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, have declined to join, others like Aryna Sabalenka, Jessica Pegula, and Iva Jovic have volunteered to represent their respective genders.
