Stockport tennis star Naomi Broady says she considered working at a supermarket when Wimbledon was cancelled because of the coronavirus outbreak.
Naomi, 30, told BBC Radio Manchester that professional tennis players have not yet received any financial support, even though major tournaments have been cancelled.
"Tennis is an individual sport and we win our money, so if we're not able to win it, we don't get any, it's that simple," she told BBC Radio Manchester.
"I was looking at doing supermarket work, especially at the start when they were saying they were struggling for staff."
On Wednesday it was announced that Wimbledon has been cancelled for the first time since World War Two.
The rest of the tennis season has been postponed until July 13 at the earliest.
The French Open has been rescheduled to take place between September 20 and October 4.
Naomi suffered an ankle injury last year and has not played a match since.
The sports star, who is the older sister of tennis player Liam Broady, told BBC Radio Manchester that the siblings have signed up to a social media group to help people in their local area with chores during the lockdown, she said.
She said: "No players will be earning money whilst the tours are off.
“I know a lot of the lower ranked players who don't really make money on the tour, don't have savings and they're campaigning to try and get some sort of financial help or relief.
"The small bit of relief, almost, is that everyone is in the same boat. The country is in lockdown now, so unless players have got a court in their own back garden, which isn't many of them, no one is able to do anything at all."
