'A mess': Alcaraz says players want better deal from Grand Slams

SPORTS 25.09.2025

Carlos Alcaraz on Thursday called it "a mess" and said that tennis players are fighting "to have something better" after an elite group sent letters to the Grand Slam tournaments asking for more influence and money.

Text size:

A group of leading players including men's world number one Alcaraz is pushing for a greater share of revenue, more benefits and a bigger say in how the sport's four major tournaments are run.

Alcaraz, playing at the Japan Open in Tokyo, said the current situation was "a mess" and believes players deserve a fairer deal.

"We are all tennis players and we are fighting to have something better for us," the Spaniard said.

"I think right now, it's a little bit a mess between everything, between the ATP (men's tour), between the Grand Slams.

"What we want, all the players, is to have everything together."

The letter, reportedly signed by other top stars including Jannik Sinner, Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka, is the second sent by the group of players.
