Rafael Nadal Says Women Tennis Players Shouldn’t Be Paid Equally

Sports’ Ben Rohrbach, Nadal threw cold water on the idea that women should earn as much as men in tennis, saying “it’s a comparison we shouldn’t even make.” “Female models earn more than male models, and nobody says anything,” he was quoted as saying in the magazine.

And while Rohrbach notes that men’s Association of Tennis Professionals World Tour events have generally “generated significantly larger audiences and more revenue than the women’s WTA Tour,” women’s finals featuring Venus and Serena Williams consistently drew more TV viewers than men’s tennis from 2010-2014.
