Rome – Players would boycott the French Open if their prize money at the clay-court Grand Slam is not increased, women's world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka said on Tuesday.

The Belarusian's threat came amid ‌a heated ‌disagreement between players and Roland Garros organizers over prize money ​distribution, despite this year's tournament offering a 9.5% increase to €61.7 million ($72.19 million).

Several top players released a statement on Monday saying they were set to ⁠receive prize money that would likely still be less than 15% of tournament revenue, well ⁠short of the 22% they demanded to match ATP and WTA combined 1000 events.
