French Open agrees to talks with players in row over grand slam prize money

• FFT pledge to make concrete proposals in next month

• Breakthrough follows media boycott at Roland Garros

The French Tennis Federation (FFT) has promised to make concrete proposals about increased prize money, player welfare and representation within the next month in talks with leading agents at the French Open.

The discussions took place on Friday, the same day many players, including the world No 1s, Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka, collectively decided to limit their pre-tournament media briefings to 15 minutes in protest at what they regard as insufficient prize money paid by the four grand slams.
