French Open prize money won't change this year, Mauresmo says

PARIS -- The French Open prize money will not change this year despite players complaining they deserve a bigger share, tournament director Amelie Mauresmo said Thursday.

Top players have criticized the French Open organizers for reducing the players' share of revenue to an alleged 14.3% -- compared with 22% at standard ATP and WTA events.

To show their discontent, many competing at Roland Garros, where play begins Sunday, are planning to limit their interaction with reporters to 15 minutes during Friday's traditional pre-tournament media day.
