French Tennis Federation

The French Tennis Federation (FFT) is the national governing body for tennis in France and the organizer of the prestigious French Open Grand Slam tournament. Recently, the FFT has been in the spotlight due to ongoing discussions and disputes with top professional tennis players regarding prize money distribution at Grand Slam events. Representatives from the FFT, including the director of Roland Garros, have held meetings with player representatives to address their demands for a greater share of tournament revenue. These discussions are part of a broader, long-running campaign by players to achieve a more favorable prize money-to-revenue ratio. The players' collective action, including limiting media commitments, highlights the significance of these negotiations. The FFT's role in these high-stakes talks underscores its importance in the professional tennis landscape, particularly in shaping the financial future and player relations within one of the sport's major tournaments.
