Reilly Opelka Joins Grand Slam Prize-money Debate, Questions Revenue Distribution Ahead Of French Open
Professional Tennis Players Association: Reilly Opelka has added his voice to the growing debate over prize-money distribution in professional tennis, publicly questioning how revenue from the sport’s biggest tournaments is allocated among players.
The American player weighed in on social media during ongoing discussions about financial structures in tennis ahead of the French Open, responding to an Instagram post by renowned coach Patrick Mouratoglou.
Mouratoglou’s post focused on the percentage of Grand Slam revenues returned to players compared to ATP and WTA Tour events, a subject that has dominated conversations among top players during the ongoing Italian Open 2026 in Rome. “If you’re not top 50, you net more as a teaching pro in South Florida,” Opelka wrote in the comments section of Mouratoglou’s post.
