Paris [France], May 24: Former world number one Boris Becker has backed tennis players in their protest action for more prize money at grand slam tournaments. Becker said at a Eurosport media event ahead of Sunday's French Open start that the issue was especially important for lower tier players to make a living from their sport. Players are protesting in Paris by keeping their respective media duties to 15 minutes, with women's world number one Aryna Sabalenka saying that "15 minutes are better than zero" before leaving when the quarter of an hour was up. Becker said: "I can understand the players, a tennis career can be over tomorrow. "Yes, for goodness' sake, if you make so much money then spend it on prize money in the opening rounds as well for players who need it to survive," he said in the direction of the four majors.
