The prize pool for this year’s Australian Open is a record $111.5 million, with this year’s men’s and women’s winners to receive $4.15 million, a 19 percent increase on last year. However, despite the increased prize pool, tennis players still believe the AO and the other grand slam events should be paying them more prize money, arguing they should get a bigger share of the enormous amount of revenue that the events generate. Alex de Minaur claims players are not being "greedy" in their push for a bigger slice of event revenue, while Daniil Medvedev says the players just want a percentage of revenue similar to other sports.
