Are players already splitting over prize money protests?Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Aryna Sabalenka is among the leading players protestingByJonathan JurejkoBBC Sport tennis news reporter at WimbledonPublished35 minutes agoFour-time major champion Aryna Sabalenka says she hopes the world's leading players will not have to "boycott" their Grand Slam media duties again after Wimbledon.Sabalenka is among the stars who have decided to limit media appearances to 15 minutes at the All England Club this week in protest over the prize money on offer at Grand Slam tournaments.A group of players, which also includes Jannik Sinner and Coco Gauff, want the major tournaments to commit a greater share of their revenue to prize money, as well as an increased contribution to welfare benefits including pensions and maternity leave.Wimbledon has already increased its overall prize money by 20% this year - the largest annual increase in the event's history - to a total prize fund of £64.2m.But as pre-tournament news conferences got under way on Saturday there were signs that not all of the players were sticking to their time limit - and some decided to break rank because they were happy with Wimbledon's offer."I hope we not going to get to this boycotting again," said Sabalenka."We do it for the tour, we don't do it for ourselves. We do it for the rest of the players who are suffering to even hire [a] coach.
