McEnroe urges Grand Slam boycott over prize money dispute

John McEnroe, speaking at the 2026 Laver Cup in London, has called for professional tennis players to boycott one or two Grand Slam tournaments as the only realistic way to secure a larger share of revenues from the sport's four major events. McEnroe argues that players should be treated as genuine partners by the Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open rather than remaining largely excluded from decisions over the money their performances generate.
