A spokesperson for the players commented on the US Open's prize money increase and ongoing conversations over player welfare.

“This is a substantial increase in prize money. While this is not yet tied to an agreed revenue-sharing formula, players remain committed to that principle and will continue to work with each of the grand slams toward that goal.”

“Players have also strongly welcomed the decision by the four Grand Slams to establish a Player Advisory Council, a significant milestone, as it reflects real responsiveness on one of the requests players laid out to the Grand Slams eighteen months ago. The announcement represents a meaningful step forward in giving players a more direct and consistent voice in decisions that affect them.”
