Arina opposes cash prize award

Belarusian Arina Sabalenka, the world number one tennis star, spoke out in support of players protesting the prize money at Wimbledon, despite a record 20% increase this year. She considered that the prizes haven't changed much compared to 2016 and are now a smaller percentage of the tournament's revenue. She expressed hope that an agreement satisfying everyone can be reached regarding the prize increases, which currently total £64.2 million, around 15% of the tournament's revenue, falling short of the £70 million demanded. Sabalenka also gave a brief statement during a press conference, noting that winning Wimbledon would earn her £3.6 million, while the first-round loser would receive £80,000.
