Iga Świątek secured her first Wimbledon title in 2025, but the Polish star's most pressing concern extends beyond trophies. She now leads a player revolt demanding better revenue sharing across Grand Slam tournaments, arguing that lower-ranked competitors lack resources for proper coaching and physio support.

Top players limited media appearances to 15 minutes at Roland-Garros to pressure organizers into negotiations. They seek a 22 per cent revenue share by 2030, up from the current 15 per cent offered. While Wimbledon and the French Open announced prize money increases, both remain below player demands. Świątek emphasizes this fight benefits the entire tennis ecosystem, not just elite athletes.

With $45.6mn in career earnings, Świątek acknowledges her privileged position but stresses that top 200 players struggle financially. She points to the WNBA's 20 per cent revenue share as a successful model for athlete compensation. The increased media obligations during tournaments, she argues, justify player demands for greater influence over major decisions.

Świątek recently partnered with Francisco Roig, former coach to Rafael Nadal, marking a tactical shift ahead of Wimbledon. After a one-month doping suspension in late 2024 and inconsistent results, she's rebuilding momentum. Her sponsorship deal with Swiss brand On continues despite earlier struggles adapting to professional pressures.
