Sinner wants to 'talk about tennis,' not prize-money protest

LONDON -- No. 1 Jannik Sinner made a limited media appearance Saturday as a prize-money protest by top players continued at Wimbledon, but he deflected questions about it, saying he wanted to "talk about tennis."

The grass-court Grand Slam increased prize money by 20% after top players began their protest at the French Open, arguing that they deserve a bigger share of revenues.

The protest involves players limiting their media appearances, meaning they talk for only 15 minutes after each match during the first week of Wimbledon.
