REUTERS: Former Wimbledon semi-finalist John Isner has called on the ATP Tour to give players a clearer picture of the decision-making process behind cuts to prize money, though the American walked back some of his fiery criticism from last month.
"I do think recently the players have felt like the tour has been more transparent with them. We're trying to understand the process a bit more."The professional circuit was shut down for five months last year due to the pandemic before tournament organisers set up biosecure bubbles for players and support staff to restart the Tours while keeping fans away from stadiums.
Isner, who stepped down from the ATP Player Council last year and joined up with Novak Djokovic to launch the breakaway Professional Tennis Players Association, said it was difficult to adjust to the huge cuts in prize money. Isner, who skipped the 2021 Australian Open due to strict health protocols, said it was"very unfortunate" that players have to stay at official hotels during Wimbledon as part of safety measures.
