Coco Gauff believes tennis is way behind other sports when it comes to distribution of prize funds…

At just 21 years old, American tennis star Coco Gauff has already established herself as a major force on the WTA Tour. Despite her young age, she has taken a leadership role among her peers, recently joining other top-ranked players in advocating for improved financial conditions in professional tennis. Gauff was among the elite group of players who signed a formal letter addressed to the organizers of the four Grand Slam tournaments, demanding a more equitable distribution of prize money.

This collective action is part of a broader push for reform in tennis, particularly regarding how revenue is shared across different levels of players. The movement has gained momentum recently, especially with the Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA)—an organization co-founded by Novak Djokovic in 2020—initiating legal proceedings against both the ATP and WTA. One of the central issues highlighted in the lawsuit is the current prize money structure, which many players feel disproportionately benefits those at the very top of the rankings while leaving lower-ranked professionals struggling to make a sustainable living.

 

The letter signed by Gauff and other high-profile athletes from both the men’s and women’s tours is a clear call to action for Grand Slam organizers to reassess how tournament earnings are allocated. When asked why she added her name to the list of signatories, Gauff offered a candid explanation. She emphasized the vast economic disparities within the sport, noting that tennis stands out in how limited financial rewards are for players outside the top tier.

 

Gauff pointed out that while elite players like herself are fortunate enough to earn a lucrative income from the sport, many others face significant financial difficulties, often paying out of pocket for travel, coaching, and other expenses without sufficient prize money to cover those costs. She contrasted this situation with other professional sports, where revenue is more evenly distributed among athletes, allowing even mid- and lower-tier competitors to earn a decent living.

 

Highlighting the privilege that comes with her position in the sport, Gauff stressed that top players have a responsibility to speak up and advocate for those who don’t have the same platform. She acknowledged that it is precisely because she and others at the top benefit from their status and visibility that they are in a position to press for meaningful changes.

 

“We are very aware that we are elite athletes and have the privilege of making a lot of money very easily,” Gauff stated. “But that’s exactly why we feel obligated to push for a more fair system that benefits everyone in the sport—not just those at the top.” She also expressed hope that the letter would prompt discussions with Grand Slam officials and lead to collaborative efforts toward a more balanced economic model.

Gauff’s comments and the broader actions of the PTPA signal a growing movement among tennis players to demand not only higher earnings but also a more sustainable and inclusive environment for everyone in the professional game. The message is clear: success in tennis should not be reserved for a small group of stars, but should offer fair opportunities and rewards for all who dedicate themselves to the sport.

 

As negotiations continue and legal proceedings unfold, it remains to be seen how the governing bodies of tennis will respond. However, with influential voices like Gauff’s leading the charge, the push for change is gaining strength and visibility.
