The world's leading men's tennis players are considering boycotting January's Australian Open tennis tournament over prize money.
The Sunday Times is reporting there are rumours the ATP was considering staging an alternative tournament to the grand slam tournament in Dubai if players did not receive a higher percentage of tournament revenue.
The threat to boycott the Australian Open was to be discussed at a mandatory meeting for all ATP players in New York on the eve of the US Open, which starts Tuesday.
The major issue is not the huge prize money on offer for the winners of grand slams but rather those players that exit in the early rounds.
