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.
Novak Djokovic is among 12 players forming an advisory council to discuss increasing their share of major tournament revenue, according to a report by AFP. The council, announced by the four Grand Slam tournaments ahead of the US Open, aims to address player protests for a larger revenue share and better pensions and welfare. Djokovic, who has won 24 Grand Slam singles titles, is leading the list posted by Sports Illustrated reporter Jon Wertheim.
The women's top players include Elena Rybakina, Aryna Sabalenka, Jessica Pegula, Elina Svitolina, Iva Jovic, and Maria Sakkari. On the men's side, Alexander Zverev, Ben Shelton, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Lorenzo Musetti, and Arthur Rinderknech are among the 12 players represented. Notably absent are No. 1-ranked Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.
The women's top-ranked player, Coco Gauff, is also missing from the list. The players are seeking 22% of the major tournament revenue, up from around 15% at the beginning of the year.
