Wimbledon organisers have expressed their "surprise and disappointment" after reports emerged that leading players intend to restrict their media availability during this year's Championships, reigniting a dispute over Grand Slam prize money.
The All England Club had previously announced a significant 20 per cent increase to the tournament's prize pot, bringing it to £64.2 million. This move followed player protests at the French Open, where pre-tournament media commitments were limited to just 15 minutes.
