This is no April Fools - this is the reality. Where’s the equality in this? Check out the mid range in the table below - it’s criminal.

The disparity in prize money between men and women in the pro tennis game from a 50 through to a 500 is a cliff face or a gorge, not a gap.
If this was a private business running the show, there'd be all sorts of political & social comments all over this condemning it.
Same work, less pay. Isn’t it about time the gender pay gap in Pro tennis was addressed for the mid range players. The prize money is FAR from equal.
Please share.

@realitytennis@TeamApples99 Spot on. The disparity in hospitality and prize money at the Challenger/ITF level is stifling the sport’s future. It’s time to move past 'best of 5' excuses—equity is a sustainability issue. If the system doesn't value its athletes, they'll eventually find one that does. ✊🎾
@jointhetour@TeamApples99 Yes! But we need someone to champion this cause. No one really seems to care. The women players are the victims in this and nothing is being done to close the gender pay gap.
@BillieJeanKing - what you did back then was amazing and all the women in the tour are grateful but what can we do now to reduce the massive gender pay gap lower down the rankings - I have written about this and would love your views … https://t.co/RnGbFwyHqe

So incredibly proud of this one! Not easy juggling a pro tennis career with a four year undergraduate course but she’s done it, and in style! 🧠🎁 Now officially a Graduate. Well done @emily_appleton99 - you’ve got one proud mum! #whatnext#imbored
