Aryna Sabalenka believes that the top tennis players will boycott grand slam tournaments in an attempt to resolve their dispute with the four events, which they argue should provide players with a greater share of their growing revenues.

“I think at some point we will boycott it, yeah,” said Sabalenka during her pre-tournament press conference at the Italian Open. “I feel like that’s going to be the only way to fight for our rights.”
