- Organisers of the Italian Open and the tennis Tours came under fire on social media after it emerged that Rome men’s champion Novak Djokovic was paid 10 euros more than women’s winner Simona Halep.Djokovic, who beat Argentine Diego Schwartzman 7-5 6-3 for a record 36th ATP Masters 1000 crown, received 205,200 euros for his triumph while Halep won 10 euros less for sealing the WTA Premier 5 title after Karolina Pliskova retired from the final with injury while trailing 6-0 2-1.
The issue generated plenty of discussion on social media, with some individuals pointing out the “pathetic” difference.“I almost feel like - if they so badly need those 10 euros to feel better about their manhood - hell’s bells give it to ‘em,” another said. Last year, Rafa Nadal took home 958,055 euros as the men’s winner in Rome, almost double the prize money given to women’s winner Pliskova.
They should be happy, cause everyone knows men's tennis has way more relevance.
Is this a parody account? By what standard makes it sense that anyone in this context even cares about 10 euros up or down? Its like watching the bet in Eddie Murphys 'Trading Places' - Here you go, 1 dollar as we agreed!
There might be equality of pay is some sports, but not all, as in most sports the men generate far more revenue than women. This is a fiscal fact that cannot be overcome. Not the rule for all, but most.
