WTA Prize Money Parity From 2027

The Women's Tennis Association has announced a "major milestone" in the fight for equality, with all combined WTA 1000 tournaments set to award equal prize money to men and women from 2027. This move includes major events like the Italian Open.

The announcement continues the sport's progress toward gender pay equity, recalling that Billie Jean King was motivated to form the women's professional circuit after earning just $600 for winning the 1970 Italian Open while men's champion Ilie Nastase received $3,500. newssport.cv
