Australian Open strike still a long way off, reckons Murray

An Australian Open boycott is still a long way off, according to Andy Murray.

The leading male players have long been unhappy with the percentage of revenue that is paid out in prize money at the grand slams and have increasingly begun to flex their collective muscle, with the prospect of a boycott emerging over the weekend.

Less than 20% of the revenue from the sport’s biggest tournaments currently goes to the players, which is substantially less than in other major sports.
