LONDON -- Top tennis players at Wimbledon will extend their protest over prize money by limiting their media appearances at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament next week.
The decision means the players will only talk to media for 15 minutes after each match during the first week of the tournament.
The protest began at this year's French Open where players complained that the total prize money only made up 14.3% of the clay-court tournament's revenue.
Wimbledon responded by hiking its total prize money by 20 percent this year -- with the singles champions to get 3.6 million pounds ($4.75 million) each.
