The winner of the women's singles title in the Australian Open would win $2,650,000. This is the same amount for the men's
same as an average tennis ball unless it is signed
No. They weigh the same amount and are the basically the same kind of tennis balls you can pick up at wal-mart or the like. Te only difference is that they use different kinds of tennis balls depending on what surface they are playing on. So, the balls they played with during the French Open are not the same kind they would use during the US Open or Wimbledon. Even then, the guys and the gals use the same type of balls. No difference in weight, size, or texture.
Very recently Wimbeldon and French tennis championships.
sadly men and women do get different amounts of money sometimes. But they are SUPPOST to have the same amount of money given to them if they are doing the same job.
The men's singles at the 2011 Dubai tennis tournament was won by Novak Djokovic. The women's singles at the same tournament was won by Caroline Wozniacki.
The Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) started in 1972 by male tennis players who were dissatisfied with the way the tour had been run up to that point, including the lack of prize money to any but the top few players. The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) started almost the same way in 1973. Refer to the ATP and WTA links, below, for further information.
no
1. Because boys are a little bit stronger then girls. Girls only can play so much or they might get hurt. They get the same prize because it is really unfair if the boys got more money then girls. And maybe because girls would stop playing tennis!!! 2. In the Women's Australian Open Tennis final last night only 15 games were played and the match took only 1hr 20mins to play. That's about as long as it takes one hard fought set to play in men's tennis . Organisers charged less to attend the women's final yet they get same prize. There is only one answer for why this is happening and that has to be chivalry 3. The reason as to why women only have to win 2 sets is entirely down to tradition. Women have historically always played best of 3 whereas men have played best of 5. Incidentally there is no reason why women shouldn't play 5 sets, the suggestion that a professional, top level athlete wouldn't be able to cope with lasting 5 sets of tennis "because boys are a little bit stronger" is frankly laughable. Women seem to cope perfectly well playing the same amount of time (or travelling the same distance) as men in a vast array of physically demanding sports (association football, rugby, hockey, marathon running, olympic triathlon etc.) They get the same pay due to years of lobbying by female players and feminists which resulted to tournament organisers caving into pressure despite the fact it flies in the face of all reason (due to their shorter matches the average pay for women players in the first round at wimbledon 2007 was £481.92 a game - compared with £284.70 for men).
Yes, tennis is a universal sport in which the rules are the same in all areas of the world. The only thing that may change is the language in which the score is called or certain playing techniques that may be taught differently in certain areas such as a open-stance forehand versus a closed-stance one.
Tennis is spelled the same in French: le tennis (masc.).
women can make the same amount of money as men you are so sexist
