Why shouldn't there be equal pay for wheel-chair tennis players?

Show me the figures demonstrating lower ratings, ticket sales and revenue for women's tennis. People acting here as if this is somehow a proven fact.



The events make more money combining men's and women's tennis together in the same tournament. More players, more matches, more ticket sales, more concession income, more parking income, etc.

Organise their slams separately then I'll show you the figure. Most of the time people are forced to watch women's matches at the expense of men seeds( 4-8 and beyond) in early rounds. in nutshell, bar 3-5 players rest of the ATP players don't get exposure. How about organising wta slam matches on another day?

It is a proven fact just see Yec of this year for WTA and AtP
Wta was struggling to find sponsor for their yec some years back( if I remember correctly)
Same for most small tournament that are held separately, it is not like atp small tournament draw huge but still decent and more than wta.
But I blame Wta organization, they need to concentrate tournament mainly in those places where tennis is on demand, instead of holding all over the world.
Retirement of Osaka and Barty is also a huge factor

The combined events are better for everyone. Every single combined event has a higher payout for the men than any single mans event except for the year end final.

Yes you are correct, combined event are better for everyone, it gives better prize money not only in singles but in doubles also

Which has been my point all along. Its better for the sport of tennis and better for the players as far as money. People can argue about the distribution at these events all day and night but its proven that you as a player benefit from having the women and mens events combined. The men benefit from having women playing at their events. And that's not a bad thing.

Yes you did imply it, this is what you called the thread which questioned why they couldn't get equal pay:

I never said I wanted equal pay for Wheelchair players. You are the ones who want "equality", why are you not fighting for them ? Looks what you want is not actual "equality", just "equality" for one group of people, for your own selfish reasons.
Regardless you've already been caught in a lie in the first part of my comment, you resorted to lying when you got caught in your hypocrisy and realised you had no argument, so it's pointless to converse with a liar like you on top of someone who loves being offended over being reasonable.

I completely agree. Well said.

Ready for Djokovic to start playing on a wheelchair?

 

[kaz1983]

Even Djokovic said wheelchair-tennis is super hard and he has all his core muscles working perfectly, plus his leg and hip muscles too -all that would deffo help big time…. but yeh - Novak, just like any able-bodied person - btw, he has full hand function too, unlike some people who are low level quadriplegics. That said, I know you’re just joking tho
