PARIS - World number eight Taylor Fritz said on Friday that tennis players’ concerns about prize money have been “ignored” by Grand Slam tournament organisers, leading to their planned protest at the French Open.

The bulk of the world’s top-10 stars will limit their media duties at the clay-court major, which starts at Roland Garros on Sunday, due to perceived low prize money.
