believes players should get a chance to hold talks with leaders of the four Grand Slam tournaments after putting his name . The world No. 2 is among 20 top ATP and WTA stars who have asked the Major tournaments for a greater share of revenue and to have a say in decisions that "impact" them.

Zverev has now addressed the bombshell letter, which was also signed by Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner and , conceding that players will not get a 50/50 split of the Slams' funds. The German also suggested that players be nominated to sit down with the Grand Slams to find a solution.

The letter, which was addressed to Craig Tiley of the Australian Open, Stephane Morel of the French Open, Sally Bolton of Wimbledon and Lew Sherr of the US Open, requested that prize money should be increased to reflect "a more appropriate percentage of tournament revenues", according to AP.

The players also asked for the four Grand Slam tournaments to financially contribute to player welfare programmes funded by the ATP and WTA Tours, and said they should have more say in decisions "directly impacting competition, as well as player health and welfare."

As one of the 20 players who signed the memo, Zverev has now expressed his hope of receiving a bigger prize pot that reflects the money generated by the tournaments.

"It's never going to be 50/50. The ATP Tour is not 50/50 even, so it's not about that. But I think we're getting, what, between seven and eight per cent right now from the men's side and seven and eight per cent from the women's side," he said ahead of the Monte-Carlo Masters.

"I'm not going to go into details because there's a lot more work and I have a great relationship with all the tournament directors and all the staff members from all the Grand Slams."

The three-time Grand Slam finalist would also like to hold talks with tournament officials to find a resolution.

He continued: "And I think it's going to be beneficial if the top players maybe choose one or two players in the men's side and one or two players from the women's side, and they sit down with the Grand Slams and maybe try to find a solution.

"But yeah, I mean, it's no secret we have the lowest revenue share in professional sport from the Grand Slam side. And we're not trying to be saying that has to be 50/50, like in the NBA or American sports, but maybe a fair share would be nice.

"And I am sure that we're going to achieve that with the Grand Slams together as the players, from the players side and we'll see how it goes."

Zverev's request could be granted, as the letter asked for an in-person meeting with the names Grand Slam representatives during the upcoming Madrid Open.

ATP world No. 8 Stefanos Tsitsipas also signed the letter and, on Saturday, he claimed players weren't getting nearly as much money as they deserved. "I have no figure in my mind, but I will tell you one thing. Currently, it's definitely not where it should be at in my opinion," the Greek star stated.

"And it's quite obvious. It's quite obvious, and I'm just surprised it hasn't happened, you know, many years now, and we're talking about this just now. That's all I have to say to you.

"I'm really hoping we can, all of us, get out there and push them to try and make it as far as possible because currently it's not a position it should be at.

"Players should unite and players should be together on this. Sometimes I feel like tennis makes us really separate from each other. And it's a question of uniting all together and getting what is fair for us. That's all I can tell you."

On the men's side, In addition to Zverev and Tsitsipas, Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Taylor Fritz, Casper Ruud, Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev and put their names on the memo.

WTA stars Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek, , Madison Keys, Jasmine Paolini, Emma Navarro, Zheng Qinwen, and Mirra Andreeva also signed.
