"It's not about making millions, it's about being able to make a living.

"There's a lot of players that have to stop when they are 21 or 22 because they can't afford to play the game because the prize money is not high enough

"The Grand Slams obviously make a lot of money and the players at the top of the game could certainly help with that, too."

• Maria Sharapova surprised some fans at the Eiffel Tower.
