The issue of equal pay between men and women continues to be an issue for some. Tennis is one of the most equitable sports.

And Nikolay Davydenko disagrees. For him: “Men work three times as hard as female tennis players in Grand Slam tournaments, so it is unfair to pay women the same.”

“In the 250, 500, 1000 category tournaments, it is possible. But when talking about Grand Slam tournaments… Five-set matches are not played. Serena Williams won the Grand Slams, losing only 10 games in the tournament. “She won 6-0, 6-1, 6-2 without even breaking a sweat or feeling stressed,” declared the former Russian tennis player.

Coincidentally, beyond the words of the former world No. 3 and champion of the ATP Finals in 2009, Equality appears in the four Grand Slams of the year, but there are still abysmal differences in the following levels.

“Men tennis players work three times more than women tennis players, especially in Grand Slam tournaments. That is why it is unfair to pay them the same salary,” he added.
