Adnkronos (Adnkronos) – The four Grand Slam tournaments have officially announced the new composition of the Grand Slam Player Council, established to create a more direct channel of dialogue between athletes and the organizers of the circuit's major tournaments. The news is that the new composition will be without the two faces of world tennis: Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will not be members of the body, which will primarily focus its discussions on financial issues between tennis players and the organizers of the Majors.
From revenue sharing to players' requests to increase the prize pool.
A total of twelve male and female tennis players will make up the new Players' Council, designed to foster more ongoing dialogue between athletes and the organizers of the four Grand Slam tournaments. For the men's tour, Djokovic, Zverev, Shelton, Auger-Aliassime, Musetti, and Rinderknech have been selected.
The Serbian, a former world number one, is the biggest name: Nole will turn 40 in the next few months and remains one of the leading players on the circuit for certain issues.
On the women's side, the new board will be able to count on a stronger representation of the top players. Elena Rybakina, Aryna Sabalenka, and Jessica Pegula, three of the WTA's top players, will be represented.
And then Elina Svitolina, Iva Jovic and Maria Sakkari, for a total of six players.
